The universe the artist creates for himself is filled with euphoria and magic, away from the routine and monotony of existence. Within the boundaries of this private world that the artist retreats into is a garden of abundance filled with evergreens that are larger than life. It is a scintillating and vivid sanctuary filled with arching boughs and canopied shade that encircles him and his occasional companions. He blends into them, becoming a part of his surreal imagination, and at other times he comes across as a figure in sharp contrast to the world around him.
