  • It seems that our present world is still threatened by Menacing Clouds.
    Cloud of stone remind one of the smoke of the crematorium that has turned to stone.
    The light appearance of the clouds entrapped in the branches of the trees. Beautiful color.
    The sole figure is about to mount a ladder: Why?

    As we are confronted by this impossible transformation, we must reflect on the pollution of our planet as well.
    The artist calling out attention to the potential for the destruction of our world.

    Indeed. MENACING!
