ABOUT

What has elegance and forest in common?
There is much more similarity than you think.
Have you ever noticed the wavy surface of the forest ground covered in moss; the wide variety of the sculptural forms of the plants and the monumental silhouettes of the trees; the beauty and the shinning of leaves on a sunny day. When the sun appears all the living creatures come out of emerge from their hiding places and the forest becomes similar to the great mysterious kingdom.
Just imagine...
Fox. A stunning lady. She is smart and achieves everything she wants using her roughness. The big hat hides her insidious eyes. The dark blue dress highlights the silhouette of her body and draws attention to every detail of her splendid beauty.
Hoopoe. A gallant gentelman. He is well recognizable because of his looks and has a soft voice. The almost black tailcoat envelopes his wings and he looks like a great statue. The small sky-blue bow tie is a stylish accessory which is the color accent of the whole image.
Sparrow. A man with a small French-style hat. Although, he is one of the biggest noise makers in the forest, his heart is open to everyone. The Sparrow is friendly and sincere. Also, he is generous and shares what he has the best. Therefore, he is always surrounded by others sparrows and small birds of the forest and solitude is not a threat.
Wolf. A wise granddad. He is one of the oldest creatures in the forest. The time gave him much experience and now his wisdom helps all inhabitants of the forest to stay safe and to support each other whatever happens. His red jacket inspired by Spanish culture is like a symbol of leadership and respect.
Rabbit. A young sensitive miss. She is cute but also vigilant. These qualities allow her to adapt to many situations. The Rabbit knows, that although many forest dwellers are friendly, she can't trust anyone. For this reason she is a bit scared and only the wavy dress hides her trembling legs.
Bear. An elegant lordling. The English-style hat, the pince-nez and the red scarf create extraordinary image of this creature. His massive silhouette could reveal his a bit rough character. In fact, the Bear is sufficiently honest and a trusted friend. He adores tranquility and puts a lot of effort to keep the peace in the forest.
Elk. A soul master. He is full of peace and harmony. He feels the forest in every part of his body. It seems, that his horn-crown holds the intelligence of all the universe. The white robe is like a reflection of his inner world. He loves being alone. Only then he can concentrate and focus on his thoughts finding the answers to the questions. The meadow immersed in sunlight, almost in the middle of the forest, is the most beloved place of the Elk. He spends a lot of time here in silence. Every creature of the forest knows where they can find the Elk if they need guidance.
