The seven Spring flowers of the old capital,the twittering of birds, every day life filled with nature.Painting flowers,trees and fruits in a surrounding that wouldn`t suggest a city`s dwelling. Paintings that indicate and can recall the stillness of faraway mountains out of themes that usually don`t get our attention. How on earth is it possible to get still life paintings with such a profound feel of time? We have believed from times past that Gods reside in the mountains and that not only animals , but the flora and actually all natural elements in the mountains have a life.
There is no better way to reflect the artist than a painting. It only comes natural that the artist`s gentleness, strength of determination, character are honestly exhibited in the work. The performance of nature in giving life to the soil during the night while through a flash of light creating one leaf of the forest.
Maybe the tip of the brush of the artist, knowing the cycle of the mountains, received a drop of endless time.
