Demitra Selimos
Envision
Juxtaposing anatomy with nature, this piece unconventionally showcases illness. What is often viewed as “abnormal” is merely a variant of a natural cause. Amidst the face of irregularity, there is still beauty to behold, we just need to adjust our own lens.
inspiration
I have always been inspired by how surrealist artists such as René Magritte tap into the subconscious imagination. My relationship with health and my education in biomedical sciences influenced me to create imaginative paintings depicting illness. Much like René, my work seeks to discover magic and beauty in the unforeseen.
