In my series of pictures "Piece of" I deal with the interplay between man, nature and the environment. My first picture in this series is "Piece of Nature" and is intended to express that man has nature in his hands, so to speak. He influences nature and his environment, exerts an influence on them and often shapes them according to his own ideas. Therefore, man also has a great responsibility towards nature and his environment. My painting "Piece of Nature" was really hard work. It was difficult to translate my ideas and thoughts about this picture in my head into the rendering programme VUE xStream. The image was created in 2010 and took 61 hours to compute at the highest quality with the latest computing power at the time (quad-core CPU and 4 GB RAM). Even though I created the image in 2010, the statement of "Piece of Nature" is more relevant today than ever.
