Is Arcadia only a beautiful word, dream place? Or maybe when we as a humanity start to search and approach Utopia physically, spiritually and mentally, this beautiful dream will one day become reality?

As humanity we have received a strong signal from Mother Earth that the present course of how we live and exist is a suicide course... A new formula is needed, otherwise pollution, viruses, climate change, the lack of water... will have a deeper and deeper impact on us and future generations.

Why has man proven to be so destructive, devastating the planet so intensely, simultaneously eradicating most animal species known in Paradise – elephants, rhinoceroses, wolves, seals and fish? One interpretation has it that, after the Fall of Man, Paradise was finally destroyed by the great flood. I believe we still have time and can change the shape of the present world in order to avoid another catastrophe of this magnitude.

We are all connected, people, animals, nature...as a one living organism. In every human being there is a piece of animal instincts and in every animal there is a piece of human being: soul, feelings, emotions, fragility.

Our artworks are both planned and subconscious. Sometimes it is deliberate observation, sometimes just like a dream half remembered. Strange encounters at the edge of perception. We create imaginary landscapes and we invite the viewer to immerse themselves into a world of dreams and mystery to see the reality in diverse ways.
