In a world that constantly demands our attention, we sometimes have the desire to "escape” to somewhere more playful and forgiving.
Imagine, in those moments, being on an island vegetated with trees and soft moss, refreshing spring water and enchanting birdsong.
You take off into a world of serenity, blowing bubbles as you did in childhood when you, carefree and adventurous, dreamed of the wonders to come.

The bright colours and powerful dynamics found in my art embody the lightness of life and its intensity at the same time, a merging of the human spirit with its environment and my love for nature. Through my art, o want to remind us that we as humans are an integral part of nature and have a great responsibility to prevent the increasing destruction of natural resources by taking seriously the preservation of nature's health and protecting, preserving, and restoring biodiversity.

The title "Peace of Mind" should not blind us to the fact that this supposed peace often lulls and distracts us from the actual problems of social injustice. It should also remind us to work towards peace for all!

Our careless treatment of our environment leads to the suffering of disadvantaged populations whose livelihood is threatened by floods, droughts, and storms. Everything is connected to everything and everyone to everyone. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that we do everything we can to protect our environment. As advocates for preserving the balance of our environment and the well-being of all, we call upon all to assist us in creating a world of peace, understanding, and compassion.
Each person can contribute something to this effort. We do it through our art, our love for natural and all creatures!
We Rise Together!
