My bond to nature involves deep love, honor and curiosity.
As a constant traveler in this vast planet, I watch all the endless beauty which surrounds us and I understand how versatile and fragile it is. This is my starting point and it motivates me and moves me to gather artistic creations of nature. The original inspiration for these creations arrives from a period of life when I lived in Africa, as well as my unlimited emotional connection to anything related to nature’s plants and animal life.
Leaves, seeds, flowers, and twigs are my painting canvas and my color palate. In the beginning, the variety of materials seem like a bunch of scattered pieces; unorganized and unconnected, but then the magic occurs, and they become one painting of nature. This ephemeral art is first captured with my camera lens and later the materials return to their natural surroundings and mother earth. It is clean art; no litter is involved in the process.
