Life itself, people, nature, art, music, poems, stories – they inspire me and feed me. My both philosophical and analytical mind urges me to watch and discover. I’m eager to explore what I see, feel or hear. I love to discover what goes on in and especially behind our daily reality. My explorations lead me into old and new worlds, in which I dwell with astonishment and wonderment.

Late in my life I discovered my talents in visual arts. They became the tools to communicate my “journeys of discovery” to those who are interested.

As I do so I create a layered world, mostly not easy to understand at first sight. However, before the eyes of the attentive viewer, a never ending mysterious landscape can unfold itself. And when that little miracle occurs, my explorations do really resonate within the heart, soul, mind and body of other people!
