Awakening in Flux

I am truly honoured that Studio La Gazelle has invited me to exhibit my art in Blox Amsterdam. 

Blox Amsterdam is a vibrant, digital city, blending the charm of historic Amsterdam with the energy of the metaverse.  One can stroll along glowing canals, explore iconic landmarks, and discover art, culture and stories at every turn. Designed for desktop, mobile and VR, it’s a place to connect, explore, and feel the heartbeat of the Netherlands reimagined for a new era. 

In "Awakening in FLux", I explore the simultaneous presence of stillness and movement, two forces that shape our experience of a world in constant transformation. This exhibition reflects the urgent moment we inhabit: a time marked by rapid change, uncertainty, and the need for deep human adaptation.

Through my iPhone artworks set within a reimagined Amsterdam, I invite viewers to dwell in the tension between pause and flow. It is here, in this dynamic space between opposites, that true awakening unfolds.

The artworks are meditations on perception, connection, and transformation, urging us to slow down and attune, to embrace vulnerability and openness, and to recognize that change is not a threat, but a path toward renewal. By holding stillness and movement together, we can navigate the challenges of our time with presence, resilience, and hope.

With this exhibition I also wish to highlight techno-spirituality, a term that describes the integration of technology and spiritual practice. Digital tools, such as smartphones, apps, or online spaces, are used in ways that promote mindfulness, reflection, connection and inner growth. 

Over time I have transformed the act of taking photos and editing these images on my iPhone into a conscious meditative process. I have learnt to treat my iPhone as an extension of my awareness - like a brush or a pen. My work invites viewers to slow down, reflect and see the sacred, that which is worthy of awe and respect, in the everyday. 

“Awakening in Flux” takes place for the month of October in Blox Amsterdam. The opening and Artist Talk will be on 2 October 2025 at 4pm CET | 10am EST | 11pm JST.

Join us to discover and explore new insights into the changes we as humans are being called to embrace as we face an uncertain future in the light of all that is happening in the world at the moment. 

Balanced Forces: NYC

Augmented Reality allows what is intangible to become present, and what is far away to feel close.

Augmented Reality occurs when digital works are layered into physical spaces. By doing so, the gap between your here and my here is bridged, as is the gap between you and me, between your reality and mine. Not only space but also time zones are bridged. In a shared,  augmented space, what separates us begins to dissolve. 

I am honoured that my iPhoneart will be shown in AR in “Balanced Forces: NYC”. This will be an augmented reality public art walk taking place in the heart of New York City on International Peace Day, 21 September 2025.

On that day, the city will become a canvas for voices and visions from around the globe. Visitors will have their realities augmented not just digitally, but emotionally.

Included might be the artworks of artists from unstable or unsafe environments where traditional exhibition opportunities are way out of reach. Physical galleries may be inaccessible, resources scarce, and travel impossible.

On International Peace Day artists in the exhibition and all those who join the public art walk, will be reminded of our shared humanity. 

As strangers pause, lift their phones and enter the world of each artist and encounter their vision, they will see something that is not bound by walls, borders or limits.  They will experience artworks that  have the ability to dissolve distance and to connect people who many never meet in person. They will encounter art that is not confined to gallery walls or limited by geography. 

Art can live in augmented reality, rising in public spaces for anyone to encounter.  

Color Healing

As an iPhone artist, my work explores the interplay of stillness and movement occurring simultaneously. Color Healing is a visual meditation, inviting viewers to experience color as a vibrational force that can restore balance and foster peace. The artwork offers a moment of quiet contemplation amidst motion, and is a reminder of the healing potential found in presence and perception.

The Balanced Forces: NYC art walk takes place between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM EST in Bryant Park and the starting point is Margaritaville Resort, 560 Seventh Avenue, New York  Live Streaming Event. 1 October 2025 > for info

VicoliÈArte2025

Ariano Irpino is a city in southern Italy. Once a year in the historic centre of the town, a cultural event is held which transforms the alleyways of the city into an open air creative laboratory. This provides an engaging experience of art, music, performances, installations, workshops, exhibitions and many other features. 

The winding alleys, vicoli in Italian, feature multiple layers of paving stones and building materials. The alleys are not simply pathways, but rather reflections of the city’s growth, with each layer telling a story of past inhabitants. 

This year’s event is titled VicoliÈArte2025, and promises yet another adventure filled with creativity, beauty and sharing. The event runs from 28 August 2025 - 31 August 2025 and is open daily from 18h00 - 24h00 CET. 

I was delighted when I was approached by Aethereal Studios who will present The Aethereal Gallery at the event. Located in extended reality, visitors to the festival will be able to access the gallery in the Auditorium Lina Wertmúller via a virtual reality headset or via a laptop projected onto a screen. Aethereal Studios has offered me a permanent exhibition in their gallery which will open at the festival. 

“. . . passeggiare insieme . . .” or “. . . walking together . . .”, the title of my exhibition, will feature my iPhoneart. 

The works in this exhibition come with an invitation to journey together. They provoke curiosity and launch a challenge to the viewer to come along and discover the secrets hidden in mysterious alleyways, where one has not traveled before. Embracing the adventure and walking together gives space to a longing to share all the sensations and emotions that arise during the experience.

For those unable to attend the event in person, I invite you to follow my social media for a direct link to the gallery once the festival begins.  I hope to see you there!
