"Collective Intelligence" is a mixed media artwork on black paper, featuring loose acrylic brushstrokes and oil pastel marks reminiscent of sweet licorice or black flowing petals, among painted dots resembling colorful jelly beans. This piece is inspired by the concept of co-developing when people work together, share their knowledge, data and skills and diverse perspectives converge to form a collective intelligence.

As a multidisciplinary artist and documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings, exploring themes of cultural hybridity, psychology, and spirituality. Having lived among complex and conflictual worlds, my work reflects diverse cultural influences and a personal exploration of identity, belonging and freedom. My paintings are characterised by bold and vibrant colour choices, employing multiple media and materials, like the diverse fabrics of societies I inhabit. As a result of this identity tapestry, I became interested in the transcendental, and how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial, where perhaps we can find more things in common than the conflictual realities we live in.
