"since my youth I have been passionate about Japanese culture. During my travels have I visited Japanese gardens, taken lessons from bonsai-masters, and discovered the importance of symbolism to the culture. For example a cranebird, which represents the wish for peace on earth and since Hiroshima has become a national symbol.
From Kumi Kawamuri I learnt the art of sumi-e, drawing with pen and ink on rice paper. 
In galerie Zône I am exhibiting collages of Japans washi paper, made from the long fibres of the kozotree."
