[en] Nature does not only provide great inspiration to artists ... but also to
scientists. Many human inventions were directly suggested from the glamor
of natural phenomena. My own story telling of Light, Colour and Shadow is entirely based upon natural phenomena, that everyone can observe every day but very few see, and that we can comprehend based upon some nice basic physical principles, substantiated by logical reasoning and formalized in simple mathematical equations.
Light, colour and shadow then become a wonder not only for the eyes, for your heart but also for the brain!
