'''Nils-Udo''' (born 1938) is a [[Germany|German]] artist from [[Bavaria]] who has been creating environmental art since the 1960s when he moved away from painting and the studio and began to work with, and in, nature. He began in the 1960s as a painter on traditional surfaces, in Paris, but moved to his home country in Bavaria and started to plant creations, putting them in Nature's hands to develop, and eventually disappear.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.morning-earth.org/ARTISTNATURALISTS/AN_Nils_Udo.html|title=Artist/Naturalist Nils Udo|website=www.morning-earth.org|access-date=2018-11-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100707075535/http://www.morning-earth.org/ARTISTNATURALISTS/AN_Nils_Udo.html|archive-date=2010-07-07|url-status=dead}}</ref> As his work became more ephemeral, Udo introduced photography as part of his art to document and share it. Perhaps the best known example of his work for the general public is the cover design for [[Peter Gabriel]]'s [[OVO]].<ref name=Hyper>[http://hypergallery.com/ Hypergallery.com profile]</ref> Nils-Udo seeks to offer a mutualist vision wherein nature as environment is an omnipresent backdrop. In revealing the diversity in a specific environment, he establishes links between human and natural history, between nature and humanity that are always there, yet seldom recognized. <ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.sculpture.org/documents/scmag99/sept99/nils/nils.shtml|title=Sculpture.org|website=www.sculpture.org|access-date=2018-11-27}}</ref>

* '''''Dune''' '''Edge''''': pampas grass, sand, wind --Namibia, 2001
** Lost in the immensity of the mountainous red sand dunes of Namibia. One of the oldest deserts in the world. Not a breath of wind, not a sound. The tracks of a solitary gazelle crisscross the huge immaculate hollow at the foot of one gigantic dune. The shadow of late afternoon sun rapidly draws closer. - Nils Udo<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.morning-earth.org/ARTISTNATURALISTS/AN_Nils_Udo.html|title=Artist/Naturalist Nils Udo|website=www.morning-earth.org|access-date=2018-11-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100707075535/http://www.morning-earth.org/ARTISTNATURALISTS/AN_Nils_Udo.html|archive-date=2010-07-07|url-status=dead}}</ref>
