The fusion of the inspiration and the impression from the nature is my subject matter.
The sky, the earth, the sea, the rays, the air, time,
a stone smoothed down with tide,
decaying fallen leaves
the soil softened with rainwater,
patterns of plants and animals
the micro- and macroscopic world
All the colours present in nature
Something like a sound from silence
Temperature, a hint, and a thought…
The beauty and the wonder which is too ordinary to notice
Things attractive are always found within nature.
