Description

Small Sea Snail is one of my early ZEN shell drawings, which I drew only with lightfast ballpoint pen refill on acid-free watercolor paper, and later added highlights with white watercolor. Each line honors the small snail shell, which here becomes a large sculpture, thus memorializing it. The structures of living creatures lead me into a meditative world, a world of divine harmony, which I hope the viewer will also experience.

Concept

Every single line I draw shows my respect for all small creatures, on land and water. To memorialize the forms of nature, to honor them with the simplest ecological means, is my motivation. In my work I connect mentally with the object, traveling far towards it in a kind of meditation. I want to take the viewer into this peaceful world of divine harmony.
In addition to my love of sea creatures, my second great passion is the theme of longing, a place where the soul feels at home. This place of my dreams could be on the coasts of Italy with its vegetation and architecture. For me a world of peace, warmth and harmony where the soul can rest.

"In these troubled times, it is so important for our spirit to find a place of relaxation,
a place where our soul feels at home."
