Fragmented Future

Synthetic Eden is a vivid, abstract oil painting that reimagines paradise through an artificial lens. Layers of thick, impasto brushstrokes form a lush yet uncanny landscape swirling vines, floral echoes, and botanical shapes emerge, only to dissolve into glitch-like smears and sharp, angular interruptions. What feels organic at first glance reveals signs of manipulation: neon hues that vibrate unnaturally, chrome-like reflections, and unnatural symmetry.

The hand behind the brush is present in every motion — gestural marks contrast with machine-like precision. Paint is pushed, scraped, and poured to mimic both natural growth and technological interference. The result is a duality: nature reborn through artificial means.

This is not Eden as we remember it, but one engineered — synthetic, curated, and strangely beautiful. The work invites contemplation on what paradise might look like in an age of climate reconstruction, virtual ecosystems, and post-natural dreams.
