There is great power in this inherent female energy, and the artist
feels that power in Nature as well. Oks recognizes the similar energy
in both women and nature, and he increasingly unites the pair in his
work. The ‘plant women’ are shooting skyward like growing trees in
a tribute to the more enigmatic aspects of the feminine spirit. The
stylized forms of the female figure speak about relationships and
solitary emotions while exploring the reality in life.
At other times, the artist creates evocative landscapes of the mind
that exist in realm between abstract expressionism and surrealism.
