Yes, naturally I´m of the opinion that man is part of the reality of nature, of the all embracing net of life. And this is something I wish to depict in my paintings.
On the other hand I´m also aware that at present, the cultural creature man is a force of destruction within natureand that there´s also a large gulf inbetween man and nature.
In this confrontation with nature, man as a moral being confronts hisself; insofar as he, in the depths of nature, must reach a decision about himself and others.
