About

Born on 15th September 1974

I spent my childhood under towering trees and patches of herbs, with prancing animals, twittering birds and busy insects, and I watched the vision of nature; every fragile being doing its dance. From chameleons and robins to butterflies and squirrels, all the original dwellers of the forest find their way into my compositions where they are sometimes busy and at other times dreamy. I let my characters, even the tiniest ones, find their part in my creation; not influenced by their largeness but by their voice.
