I remain faithful to what is my inspiration: nature.

About

As an artist who always creates in harmony with nature, it is impossible to pass indifferently to all wonders that the earth offers each year. In botanical matter it is a miracle that I want to preserve, pass on and show to others… that is a colour. Extracting dye from botanical matter, modifying colour with the natural components of the soil became the subject of my research, study and my passion. In a sentimental aspect, all botanical sources and the areas I gather them are always special to me. Capturing the circumstances of the season, places which offer material for my work, all this aspects I try to encapsulate in my art. A medium which rules it’s own rights, over which a man is unable to control, a medium which is capricious, gracious, unpredictable, consistent with nature, of which we are part of.
