I love your work :). Where do you get your inspo?

Thank you!! Most of my inspo comes from either nature or medical stuff, lots of the backgrounds I use for my work is based on pictures I’ve taken myself while going on random nature walks and I’m still riding the high from seeing the Mutter museum a few years ago. I also tend to lean into the aspect of nostalgia/loss of innocence in my work as a more underlying theme to my more personal works.

The Latin proverb serving as title for the painting can be translated as “Without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus freezes” and is based on a quotation by the Roman comedian Terence. It inspired several paintings of Northern Mannerism and Baroque, in which its basic meaning (’love cannot thrive without food and wine’) is illustrated in a sometimes more, sometimes less moralizing way (Source: Wikipedia).
