About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Time to get out of my comfort zone

ABOUT ME

The only trait that seems to run across all of me is that I always want to go beyond, never settle for the accepted. I´m always curious, inquisitive, digging for the what ifs? And if I ask myself something then I have to find the answer even if it means travelling around the world. I think non of us really knows what we are doing here. Some of us are better bluffers. And that´s OK. But sometimes I want to talk and listen as if what we say mattered, as if there was no reason to pretend either of us knew. I like that. Not knowing. Fascinating. And still question. Like looking down on life as seen from the moon, or like authors do. How they understand each character from above. Not defending their opinions but showing how they came to have them.

I have studied philosophy in Europe and India, have worked in advertising in London, lived with flamencos in Granada and am now doing digital installations in Dubai and working with the Louvre Abu Dhabi. I like the deep. I like the shallow. I like art. I like style. I like the authentic. I like the fake. I hate pop. I like jelly beans.

I love life...just wish there was more of it. I would like to have about 4 lives...one for love, one for work, one for wealth, one for art, one for travel, one for family, one for improving the world...that is 7 already...oh and one for watching movies...how about that...a whole life for movies...fantastic! So 8.

Well so there you go. Me in a nutshell!

PHILOSOPHY

Going your own way doesn't mean you are selfish. It just means you are living your life and not someone else's.
