"As I dip my brush into the vibrant hues of the forest, each stroke whispers a story of connection – a conversation between art and these ancient trees that stand as a silent witness to time.
​
As I paint, the forest breathes, and with each exhale, it infuses itself into my work. As I drink in its breath I become a vessel for the untold stories woven into nature's canvas.
​
In this cocoon of creativity, time does not exist, and the act of painting transforms into a meditation.
What a profound connection we share with the natural world. I am so thankful". RAKKAUS
