Forces at work in maximum self-sufficiency. Primary, undiluted, full of tension. Never at ease, always in the moment. A pulse in rhythm and rhyme. Emerging from a Void–an emptiness and silent space which is the source of its origin. Existence revealing itself as a rhythm: on and off, pulse and pause." - Richard Solstjärna AWARDS & HONORS: 2023 ARTIST OF THE YEAR, Award for the Best in Art & Creativity, World of Art, United Kingdom. 2007 Prize of Excellence, Works on Display, Artoteque, UK. 2007 Gold medal with the Lily of Florence and Diploma, Associazione Galleria Centro Storico, Florence, Italy. 2006 Diploma of Excellence, Real-Time, Artoteque, UK. 2005 Prize Oscar della Cultura, Diploma of Honor, Associazione Galleria Centro Storico, Florence, Italy. 2005 Diploma of Excellence, ArtNow, Artoteque, UK. 2004 Prize Trofeo Luigi Valenti, ItalArt Assocation Cultural, Gallery Immagini, Cremona, Italy. 2004 1st Prize Theme; Free, Santa Maria delle Arti, Accademia Internazionale Santarita, Torino, Italy. 2003 Médaille Republique Francaise, d’Or, Roquebrune, France. 2003 Victoire d’Honneur d’Or, Versailles, France.
