I have always considered the Bonsai a shape of art, result from various technical and artistic activities, and from the beginning I have always faced every job with the same methodology used in artistic field, dedicating to good part of the creation of the work to one phase of study and planning. Even from the professional and didactic point of view I have divided the total job of the obtaining of a Bonsai in four parts to face systematically and progressively:


Chose of the material
Study
Planning
Realization


If we will always correctly carry out the projectual job on our plants following the aesthetic and technical rules of base, the final result will not disappoint and to the end of the job we will be satisfied from a result that has not  reserved strange surprise or moments of improvisation. I have always adopted this simple methodology in order to realize my plants, obtaining resultats that you will be able to see in the next pages.
