Introspection
“My artistic endeavour embodies a journey towards introspection and self-awareness. The meticulous choice of the surrounding environment becomes crucial, acting as a catalyst that amplifies the sought-after state. I found my mind and soul remarkably clear in the stillness of the mornings, within the visually vibrant tableau, open to living and delving deeply and directly into reality. I lingered upon the green mosses, which left a strong visual impression on me, and the fascinating details of the lichens. Like these living organisms, humans are rooted in their environment, and the connection between their existence and the surroundings is essential.”
