SECRET GARDEN (Digital, 2024)
The wonders of nature never cease to amaze and inspire me. I often find inspiration in nature when selecting subjects or themes for my artwork. The natural cycle of life, with its stages of growth, decay, restoration, and renewal, fills me with a sense of awe and optimism.
The purpose of my artwork is to rekindle the same feeling of hope and wonder, even with the challenges and stresses of everyday life. Whether it is the struggle to make a living or the harsh realities of war and climate change, I want to remind people that there is always hope. Nature, in particular, serves as a sanctuary that nurtures and sustains us, both physically and emotionally.
May this lamp be your guiding light, your ‘tanglaw.’ May it surprise you and bring a smile to your face, help you unwind, and inspire a sense of hope within you every day. - Abi Goy
