I’ve always been fascinated by the borderline mythical aura surrounding Alexander. For this piece, I wanted to capture that intense, restless energy turning him into a dramatic, winged figure of conquest.

The hardest part was definitely wrapping the wings seamlessly across the sleeves so that the movement of the body actually brings the piece to life. It took hours of layering textile paints to get that high-contrast, almost marble-like armor shine against the fabric.

I really wanted to blur the line between a classic painting and something you can just wear. Would love to hear your thoughts on this interpretation!

My art desk fills up so fast with these little guys —- creating is so therapeutic for me! Who else creates art to decompress?

Do you guys like it?🥹☺️

I wanted to combine my grandma’s old doily work (milje) with these modern abstract swirl forms that are popular today — mixing something traditional and delicate with a more contemporary, flowing aesthetic.🖤
