SHRIEK

In the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. Now the lion is classified as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes of concern.

OCEAN DEPTHS WATERCOLOR

The small watercolors paintings are a follow up on the Ocean Depth Series. The inspiration of the underwater world colors, plants and coral are the sources of these abstracts. Snorkeling or diving is not my thing, because I'm not a hero at all in the sea or the ocean. I gave it a chance during a holiday and what I saw just blew me away ... the gracefulness of movements, the amount of bright colors, all so vivid. If I had the guts I would go diving! Who knows what the future will bring.

My Ocean Depth Series will grow, develop and be present in my works.

This painting is part of the Ocean Depths Series. It shows my translation of the under water movements and glistering of the many blues and the greens against the light and the dark.
