Young Fly Agaric

This young fly agaric (Amanita muscaria, L.) shines on the forest floor with its beautiful colours. It quietly tells the story of the deal it made with the trees above him. Trade it is. Receive sugars, give minerals. It knows that without this deal, the trees should be as big as the agaric itself. Do we enter the domain of politics here?

Autumn Beech Leaf

This beech leaf shows that autumn is coming. It is time the tree sends a warm thanks to the leaf for the offered services last spring and autumn. It is now time to say goodbye.

Celtic Contrast

In this landscape, the rock-solid Celtic menhirs stand in high contrast with the high dynamics of the sky.

This painting is inspired by the album The Philosopher’s Stone by Van Morrison. Metaphorically speaking, I expressed the contrast between volatile political plays in the air today and the feet on the ground of the Constitution and the connection with the Earth.

Recall the Forest

Once, a pristine forest was covering the earth. The total area is highly reduced. Recall the forest is essential in an overall humanly steered system world. Let us not forget.

Iceland still shows us the wild. A world of rocks, water and mosses with far views.
