Interests

Painting and drawing is my passion. I mainly use oil and coal, but when I am travelling I always take my Acrylics and pencils with me, because they dry much more faster and are easier to transport.
Most of the time i paint bodies and sonetimes trees or faces or water or things that have no name.
I played piano for years and started to learn guitar by myself. For me it is one of the ways to move to get in a meditative atmosphere of concentration and closing circles.
I love listening and focussing on music and let my imagination run.
What i like about the surfing especially the wavesurfing is that you have to decide wheather you take the wave or not in seconds and then you just flow.
And i love the oceansound!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working on a construction site of a school in cameroon.
walking through the jungle in ghana.
living on a lonely island in croatia-kornati island national park, with only three other persons, two goose and rastafari-sheeps.
Taizé, France: So many people from different cultures meet in this little village eat, sing and work together. Such a great experience! You can have great talks, but you can also be on your own in silence an think about yourself and your way of thinking.

Teach, Learn, Share

We could do some "painting-sessions" and draw together, I can´t teach you to paint, because in my opinion everybody can be an artist , you just need to have the courage to let yourself go.. But I could show you some tricks :)
I´m very interested in playing guitar or making music, so if you love doing that stuff, I would be happy to learn something of you or play together or listen to your music.
