STATEMENT
My work is a tribute to nature, a spiritual exploration of the reintegration of nature into our social consciousness.
I am interested in the innate sense of connectedness we all have with other forms of life. The tendency to be drawn to nature, to feel an affinity for it, a love, a desire.
My creative journey encompasses various connections to the sublime of the landscape. From the monumental presence of the clouds merging with the blue sky to the convergence of the mangroves with the sea. The connection to nature transforms into a spiritual experience.
