Constantly fascinated with life and world that surrounds us I find nature as inexhaustiblesource of inspiration. Every part of it, even the smallest one, whether it is a drop of water, abug, grass or stone, for me it’s an everyday reminder on time, existence and decay, life anddeath, and the beauty in all. There, maybe subconsciously, I find natural stone as the mostsuitable material to work with. I am fascinated with numerous kinds of stone, whether it hassoft or hard structure, easier or difficult to break and shape, every stone hides a colorfulsurprise inside and finds its place in mosaic flows.In the system of nature everything has its place, as in mosaic. Every little piece of stoneis unique, even imperfect one and that is in common to human and nature, because in theimperfection is reflected perfection.
