Given our current inability to shoot outdoors on location, I've uploaded a set of 15 colour images created last September in England's Peak District, with the wonderfully talented Cariad Celis. https://www.amazilia.photography/On-Line-Exhibitions The shoot was part of my continuing project writing both narrative and producing images that show aspects of we humans' deep and intrinsic relationship with our natural world. See Amazilia' Re-wilding the Human Spirit work at https://www.amazilia.photography/Books-for-Sale In these images Cariad can be seen embracing her environment in ways that are meaningful for her, which is exactly what I am striving to depict with this project. Keep safe and well everyone!
These are the plants that I grow on my balcony. I have a small balcony with a few pots of flowers, and these are the things I see more when I'm sitting at my desk, and every time I look up from the drawing I'm doing, out of the window, this is what I see. I get distracted, but the distraction brings me right back to the need to draw, so I take another piece of paper and try to sketch the plants, their colors, the shadows and the light reflections dancing on their leaves. When I go back to the work I was previously doing, a little bit of these sketches is transferred into it, and this tells me that my drawings (my thoughts), though apparently distant and very different from each other, talk, communicate and transmit the information all together.

In this painting a man and a woman are in the centre of the scene. The upsidedown woman points her hand to the ground while her leg points upward, indicating human beings’ intermediate position between heaven and earth. On the right and on the left, an ikebana floral composition stands for the essential union between Nature and humanity. The fusion of nature and human being is the necessary and inseparable condition of life.
