About the art

The Garden as a "pars pro toto" of Paradise.
Once the world was beautiful Nature, with forests, fresh water, clean air, grasses, flowers, fruits etc.
But greedy mankind destroyed and polluted nature in such a way that now destruction remains, animals were extincted, forests and trees uprooted, deseases increase, uglyness prevails and lives are threatened by poison, plastic, fires, floods, bad air etc.

It is of vital importance to stop the destruction and let us restore the beautiful garden the earth once was.
