“I paint landscapes. I try to show nature as an entity that has its own energy. I consider that nature is not an inert matter but is a living world with an interiority. In the West we are often separated from this living world. There is a loss of interaction with nature. We talk a lot about nature but are we able to feel the living world for what it is? What I try to do in my paintings is to show nature differently, to make it “resonate” with us. By this I mean to reconnect us with the living world and to facilitate an emotional intimacy with nature “
