amid wild cherry blossoms
overcome by fragrance
my fury
sank to its knees

I stood over it
powerless and shaking
while you — stood behind me

and faster than water flows
you took my hands
and tied them
with kisses

and then — there was the cherry tree
and the cherry tree
watched —

I start with one or more photographs made by myself to create these artworks. Then I use digital painting, color adjusting and adding and transforming multiple artistic textures and effects. I do this until there is a surreal atmosphere that touches me and tells the story I want to tell you.

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
