Taking inspiration from real verdant scenarios, Serbian husband-and-wife duo Jelena and Aleksandar Paunkovic, aka JA Paunkovic, creates impressive hyper-realistic paintings of lush foliage with different specimens of plants.
Visiting (a) new environment becomes material that will later serve us in the studio as a sketch for a new painting. We have found a way to bring nature to a home or gallery and hang it on the wall to serve as a reminder that we need to think more about how our modern lifestyle affects the environment.
