Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
writing, understanding humanity, complexity, dedicating my life to beauty and knowledge, being sensitive with every living being on this fragile planet.
ABOUT ME
made out of light and shadow. i am a professional writer, author of a novel, stories, theater plays, essays and newspaper articles. writing for me is metamorphosis, transcending my own little self and becoming someone else, putting on the skin of the other, seeing the world from endless different perspectives like in a hall of mirrors. at my core there is curiosity. traveling (around the world and in my mind) is my way of being.
i eat mostly vegan, sometimes vegetarian.
fully vaccinated against covid-19.
PHILOSOPHY
it's all about encounters, communications, about missing or facing a person, sensing, perceiving, finding a moment of comprehension, of shelter, being aware of the other's movements, seeing his branchings, his disaccords, contradictions, doubts, catching yourself inbetween, in the silences, the looks, accepting the gap between the other and yourself.
