The Soft Wilderness Collection

There is a quiet undoing at the heart of The Soft Wilderness Collection – a return to something instinctive, inward and gently profound. Artist Oamul presents a world where the human figure drifts in and out of focus, entwined with birds and snakes. These subjects inhabit a softened realm: one where identity is less defined by structure and more by presence, intuition and sensation.

A figure walks with a snake, not in fear but in quiet communion. A hand holds a bird with delicate stillness. A body reclines beneath an oversized bloom, as though dissolving into the foliage around it. These scenes suggest not only coexistence, but a deeper kind of recognition – an awareness of self that exists without language, without performance.

One recurring figure – the snake – appears not just as symbol, but as a personal turning point. In this Year of the Snake, Oamul chose to meet what once unsettled him, using art as a way to shift perception and find calm in what was once feared.

Through a layered mix of digital painting, ink and oil, Oamul achieves a sense of suspension – as though the images have been plucked from a dream just before waking. Some pieces feel translucent, fleeting. Others hum with saturated colour and quiet intensity. The palette is soft and measured, with tones of pink, pale green and milky yellow balanced by deeper blues.

The Soft Wilderness Collection is, at its core, a meditation on being. On the spaces between the seen and the felt. It invites the viewer to loosen their hold on certainty and enter a state where the self is both present and dissolving – part human, part animal, part memory. In this soft wilderness, boundaries blur and new forms of connection emerge: unspoken, ephemeral and deeply resonant.
