In this ethereal portrait, Wanaria Wholeheart weaves together the spirit of the forest with the resilience of the human soul.
A woman’s face emerges from a dreamscape of fungi, leaves, and layered symbols—her gaze steady, soulful, and quietly defiant.
The mushrooms, painted with intricate care, are more than natural forms; they are symbols of rebirth, decay, and the interconnected web of life that pulses beneath our feet.
With rich, earthy tones, subtle collage elements, and luminous gold leaf, Wanaria invites us to step away from the noise of modern life and return to something older, wilder, and more true.
This painting is a quiet rebellion—a soft yet powerful refusal of the systems that disconnect us from nature and from ourselves.
It whispers a reminder: the world itself is still beautiful; it’s the structures we’ve built on top of it that need dismantling.
Through her layered technique and soulful imagery, Wanaria calls us back to our roots—to remember, to feel, and to begin again.
