An impressionistic shimmer of dark smears on backgrounds of bright expanse. Patterns of scattered marks and feathery plexus on white ground. Horizontal and vertical bands combining into a constructive composition on a white field. A frame in white, in which a white plane expands like an empty canvas. On closer inspection, the abstractions fill with concrete details: birds have left delicate prints on a snowy field, condense into swirling sheets in a white realm. Brown and green form stripes on a snow-covered pasture. Winter trees bear branched ornaments. The developed landscapes and urban terrains, captured vertically from heights of hundreds of meters, are 'ready-mades' - visual discoveries whose aesthetic potential is revealed and recognized through the detached viewpoint.
