Painting - Watercolor
"My works, paintings and poems, deal with Man's destructive impact on frail ecosystems, the biodiversity as well as social injustices in society.
The lack of balance between progress and nature, resulting from man’s failure to conserve and distribute the resources on the planet amongst its inhabitants, is manifested in the disappearing variety of life especially the extinction of wildlife.
Some of my works are dedicated to the poor state of women in some parts of the world, without rights, abused and treated as sex objects for sale.
Lately I am looking up to the life of wandering birds as a model to life without boundaries, a model for peace. You will find pelicans, cranes and more.
The unique aquarelle style contains many creative, unusual elements, such as the use of tires and shoes imprinted upon the white paper of nature themes. The contrast of the opaque prints on the aquarelle delicate and transparent paintings, suggests the destructive intrusion of human impact. The paper is tilted and the colors' streams imprison the sad objects, or maybe they reflect our own poor face?"
