"Instinctive" is a digital artwork that transports the viewer into a surreal world where nature and technology merge. The centrepiece of the painting is a giant insect enthroned on a piece of wood and cybernetically modified. The finely detailed painting gives the insect an almost tangible presence, as if it could come to life at any moment. This artwork invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between humans and nature and how technology influences our instincts. The insect represents the animal kingdom, which acts independently and instinctively, while the wood symbolises nature, which is often threatened by technology. The cybernetic modifications remind us of how much technology interferes in our lives and can influence our instincts. "Instinctive" challenges us to discover and protect our inner instinct to live in harmony with nature. The masterful painting and profound message make this artwork an essential part of any art collection looking to glimpse the future."
