Jon Ching - Biophilia
International Artist|Wild at heart
The endless wonders of the natural world inspire my artwork, for after one realizes there is magic in every cell of every living organism, one cannot look away.
Jon Ching - Biophilia

To me, not only are the lifeforms magic, but so too are the interconnections linking everything together. It's tempting to describe this intricate balance of millions of organisms as supernatural, but in fact, it is plainly the definition of natural.

My process starts with a lot of observation of color, form, patterns and idiosyncratic qualities that at once make something unique, but also reference something else. These connections, big and small, are reminders that we are all related as living beings on this planet and act as dots for me to connect. Often times these connections lead to creating what I like to call "Flauna" creatures, a mix of flora and fauna, though at time minerals, the elements and fungi are also combined.
