"And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul"John Muir
Nature calls me and I seek it out. Surrounded by trees is where I feel calm and at the same time more alive than ever. Immersed in the forest I feel a deep connection with the universal, with the essential. A kind of magic associated with the transcendent. Painting trees and lush nature allows me to recreate this experience, and to connect with this sensation, which I seek to transmit to the viewer. Trees represent strength and peace, wisdom and freshness, power and fragility, all at the same time. These values and moments of reflection are so lacking in this saturated, fast-paced and superficial world. Today's culture is taking us further and further away from nature, and I believe it is time to return to it.
