The images of the prairies from my childhood spill out of my subconscious mind and this invisible, forgotten presence of yesterday flows onto today's landscape. The pleasure of reconciliation and the unity of two distant times bring me back to nature, again and again, to embark on a new adventure together.
In my interaction with nature, whenever there is a clear presence with me that has been absorbed in me in friendship and peace, the result is a successful work in which flows the spirit of nature, but I also remember the times when nature was like an untamable horse and I was forced to fight with it in order to “capture” it, but soon I realized that this cannot be done by force! It has rather been through patience and oneness with nature that, while dealing with appearances and trying to record objectivity, I have sometimes been able to go transcend [nature] to discover its invisible colors, its magic of light and the soul hidden in its heart.
