Raining Bears

During my visit to a René Magritte exhibition in Brussels, I gained insight into the artist’s intriguing mind. The alignment of my project’s initial concept with its execution fueled new inspiration, resulting in two pieces unmistakably influenced by Magritte. Magritte’s art plays with the visible and the hidden, urging viewers to reconsider their assumptions about the world. His paintings serve as a visual philosophy, encouraging introspection and prompting a deeper contemplation beyond surface appearances. As in all my works, these buildings are constructed with hundreds of fragments of photographs of real textures of walls, windows, wood and tiles and sky. The bears are also wrapped in textures of real fabric and blended details that create intricate patterns.
