Botanical Art

A trip to the Amazon rainforest changed my life. After 20 years in the world of business, I began to draw the plants of the rainforest. I left behind my previous values and plants became the most precious treasures in my eyes.

Plants in the Amazon’s rich ecological environment, especially air plants like orchids and Bromeliaceae, are amazing. Not just because of their dazzling beauty, colours and plant morphology, but also the evolutionary story that they tell. Through these artworks, I want to show the spiritual poverty that human beings will face with the continued destruction of the rainforest and disappearance of these precious plants.
