Zusammenfassung: | The author takes two approaches in perceiving and depicting nature. When depicting a landscape containing many spatial elements, he considers himself but a small particle of the universe, a reference point: the perspective of the landscape is directed from the human being towards the infinitely big. When depicting flowers, plants or animals, the author becomes absorbed in the study of the elements and particles of the universe: the perspective is directed from the human being towards the infinitely small. In both cases, one perceives time, mass and space interacting in movement. The movement engenders cadence. Apprehending the cadence of the big and the small, one perceives the harmony and structure of the world. The author considers nature his great teacher. By observing the infinite multitude of the forms of existence, every artist can find the forms and laws of nature that are close to his or her perception. |
