FIELDS OF SPRING III
Art is always personal, it touches you or it doesn’t, you like it or you don’t, you feel something or you feel nothing.And luckily we all have different taste.
With this piece I instantly felt it, whether it’s flowers or butterflies, you have my attention, and when it is made of natural material coming from the ocean I also love so much,we have a soul MATCH.
