Italian term

si muove secondo una interiore missione della natura

Italian to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
I need your help, please. I can't figure out how to translate this phrase. It's about a sculptor, engraver and painter. Here's the whole paragraph:
“Il percorso artistico di XXX YYY si configura con una ricerca espressiva essenzialmente figurativa, che unisce l’energia del colore dei dipinti alle sculture in bronzo e pietra, al fluire del segno delle liriche incisioni. Dagli anni cinquanta al nuovo millenio si muove secondo una interiore missione della natura, del paesaggio montano, delle suggestive nature morte. In ogni tavola o finestra o impressione, si avverte un senso vibrante di interpretazione.”

his (or:her) art is moved by the interior calls of nature

Just another suggestion. Whatever you chose, I think in English, you have to restate explicitly the subject of the sentence, otherwise it's a bit confusing.

he responds to the interior calling/to the voice inside him

that pulls him towards nature, the mountainous landscape; he is drawn continually to nature...
