In Kenya, I found myself in constant wonder and awe. The spectacular fauna and flora awoke my deepest passion for the animal world. Being there, I felt as if I was moving through invisible roads of fairy-tale, always ready to be surprised by marvellous 4-legged creatures. Those, almost mythical, majestic beings never ceased to stop my breathing or take my heart away.

Exploring through the dust of rugged and bumpy endless tracks, soaked in the opulent sun, I started feeling at One with Nature. The sound of heavy lionesses’ panting and her pungent coat scent; the hippos singing at night and the zebras’ narration of events; the musical elephants’ trumpets and wildebeests’ conversations; the vultures’ carefully choreographed dance over a kill and flamingos amusing rhythmic movements; the hyenas’ cheeky playfulness and curiosity and timid cheetahs’ meows. I always want to feel that way: so close to nature.

This is my artistic version of what I saw and of what will come next…
