My art: the imaginary Poppy World

Final work

 This is one of my artworks. This was the final product of a long process that was composed of loads of little steps. See below. My intention was to show the imaginary poppy world full of my memories, fears, delusions a bit like a snapshot to my subconscious.

This is my latest dream...getting a tiny home... I am no minimalist but there is something amazing in creating a house around your needs, as opposed to getting a house built a long time ago for different needs. I don't think I will ever be able to afford my own house plus we don't need a massive house. Anyway these houses can be so creative so take a look at how they might feel ...
