"In this day and age we can see clearly the impact mankind has had on the natural world, and the terrible environmental consequences which have followed. I was shocked to learn that since I was born in 1971, we, as humans, have managed to destroy one-third of the flora and fauna existing at that time. As this magical diverse flora and fauna forms the main inspiration for my work, I consider it my duty as an artist to make every effort to protect it from extinction. My art calls attention for a more cultural intelligence towards our precious nature.” Arne Quinze
