A few more words on

Mega collection

Abandoned by time

Time and human obsolescence curved these pieces of wood and created artwork. Mega collection includes large trunks and roots that have been abandoned in nature for a long time. One or more large round pebbles or cobbles complete the wooden volume. They need a large interion space to stand out.

The meticulous cleaning and coating techniques with marine varnish and special varnishes are dominant in this collection. Their transport from their collection place was adventurous and their processing sometimes required several months.
