We are currently in the process of the sixth mass extinction on Earth. According to research by academics and experts, more than 27,000 species are threatened with extinction, that is more than 27% of all assessed species. (*source : IUCN/Red list ). Although it is an old-fashioned saying , the earth is a truly miraculous planet in the universe, where such biological diversity exists. I must continue to create works of art with the vision of their aesthetic side, also with making them returning back to the nature once again, that express my respect and gratitude for animals.
