Landscape can be understood as the concurrence of the materials, colors, shapes, and structures reflected in the artists work. Certainly, the landscape is different and special for every creative person – it is more a condition than anything visually perceptual.
 
How can one describe the similarities between the works in this seemingly different-looking group and what distinguishes them from the other artist works and schools of thought in the field of art jewellery? One feature is the focus on people (often the author himself), his immediate surroundings, and his feelings: household, homesickness, the bad and the good, birth and death, and his own reflection ... Secondly – the idea ruling over matter. Despite the diversity of materials - wood, silver, birchbark, rubber, copper, plastic, gold, textiles, etc. - there is no place for apparency.
