Sometimes we spend our life rushing, so much that we neglect to stop and look at the beauty of nature around us. Trees and green areas provide a welcome oasis in the city. This was my inspiration. I wanted to capture these little oases in the city. Their calmness, their beauty in the mid-winter and spring light. Most of these paintings were done during the Covid-19 Lockdown and somehow it was reassuring to know that nearly all of the trees depicted had stood through two world wars, a civil war, a polio epidemic as well as a typhus epidemic, and still they strongly stand.
