It's a bit trite to say that artists are influenced by nature. Interaction with and observation of nature are endless sources of fascination, but nature cannot be improved upon. Better to collaborate with nature than try to dominate her. Indeed, attempts at domination of nature are futile - nature will always win.

He interacts with natural objects, in a minimal way, "creating a bridge between nature and human beings." The result is remarkable, have a look:
