The artist commented on his inspiration for the 2022 Lucart calendar: "I wanted to tell about human moments set in nature. Instead of wild and majestic places, I chose simple spaces, like gardens, vegetable patches and balconies – glimpses of nature within everyone's reach. The idea was inspired by the green vocation of Lucart products and the vital importance of our homes and small green spaces during the lockdown".
