"My work is constantly inspired by nature and all its forms.
I have recently being paying closer attention to the moving perception of our psyche during the seasons.
Each season stirs in us different emotions, positive and negative.
Spring: re-birth, the prevalence of green, but also the blinding light following the intimate
subtleties of the preceding months. Summer is both the embracing warmth and the red heat.
Autumn is the end of nature and the beautiful melancholy of the changing leaves. Winter the beauty
of colorless snow that in subtle nuances evokes every color in the spectrum, but is also forbidding freeze.
This series attempts to give form to these emotions. Looking back at Shakespeare and his wonderful tragic comedy, I borrowed that metaphor and transpose it in the intense lightness of my flying paper works."
