Nature's Gestures - Mushrooms Series II

I invite nature’s gestures and lives onto the canvas. Sometimes I make a maquette, sometimes use nature’s setting as it is. A stem of grass, dried branches, passing wind, everything becomes a living subject on my canvas rather than an object of still life. The process of capturing and depicting them is my tribute to their secret network and the struggling movements. Also, it is my small support and consolation for the unnoticed beings of the world, including myself, who constantly struggle and live at their own pace.
