Every painted shield of this series tries to draw the viewer’s attention to the uniqueness of the animal depicted. Each creature has a different form, texture, and color of body. Each responds to the general characteristics of its species, while being singularly special and unrepeatable in its individual form and sound. Animals have their own habitat and life style influencing their particular communication means. Animals or flora, pertaining to the same family, branch into numerous sub-species, all according to the ever-changing geographical context, dependent on space and time dynamics. The more one inquires into the secret life of beings, the more humble one feels when approaching the non-terminable spectrum of transient living phenomena.
