"Returning to Nature"
Ivan Douwes works with nature to explore a renewed union between man and the natural world. Inspired by wildlife, indigenous cultures, and the elements, he explores humanity's bond with the natural world, crafting works in different mediums that reflect this connection to the world.
His multi-medium works honor landscapes, ecosystems, and interdependence while spanning themes like future visions and heritage. Douwes bridges mythology and science, past and future, inviting viewers to re-imagine their place in a connected, wild order through his innovative and symbolic story making.
