Adventure with Nature in acrylic (20"x28") by AV Rotor 2025

Adventure with Nature, in search for meaning, joy-innocence-courage rolled in one, experience treasured in a lifetime, imprimatur of youth in old age, wisdom distilled from knowledge in the field;  

Adventure with Nature, in search of man's ancestral past, virtues-values-reverence ensconced as one in the person, his family and community, primordial to unity and harmony of society and humanity;   

Adventure with Nature, in search of what lies up high, atop a mountain, beyond the boundaries of horizon, as imagined views and images on the throne of the great Creator as He would watch over His creation;

Adventure with Nature, in search of a home in the four corners of the  Earth and beyond, yearning to conquer time and space, suffering and death, ironically man has yet to conquer his own passion and weakness;  

Adventure with Nature, in search of the lost biblical Eden, with deep faith of regaining its beauty and glory, through man's role as guardian and sentinel in keeping Nature's beauty and bounty; 

Adventure with Nature, in search of freedom from the tender trap of technology, capitalism, sectarianism, fast lane and affluent living, depriving man the true meaning of the Good Life;

Adventure with Nature, in search of genuine World Peace sans fear of Armageddon, genuine happiness shared in Matthew 25, Psalm of Life, Rizal's vision, Milton's Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. 

Nature shares her bounty in many ways:

     He who works or he who prays,

Who patiently waits or gleefully plays;

     He's worthy of the same grace
