Koh’s paintings are a tribute to nature, which has given him many beautiful memories and dreams. The painter creates an imaginative world in which the viewer can approach wild creatures in a surreal way. Over the years Koh has had the opportunity to get in close contact with a variety of animals in their natural habitats. He became aware not only of their outer appearance, but also of their spirit in the form of ethereal energy fields. These encounters manifest themselves in his art, which is represented worldwide in collections and galleries.
