Entdeckungsreise ins Selbst
Today I made it my goal to use the template I created on yesterday to fill with colors on my Adobe Photoshop program. It wasn’t all that easy in the end because I struggled at the beginning to even find the bucket tool, not to mention the color palette, in order to fill the empty spaces…
I feel like a movie while my boys are visiting friends. I love the peace, the silence, and the possibility to do something I haven’t done for many months. Good that my hubby has Amazon Prime for this month, so I could enjoy a funny, yet deep romantic Finish in German language. Actually, I thought…
This morning I was sitting at the breakfast table, thinking what my project for today could be. Then I caught sight of the design of my kitchen chair, and knew, what I am going to do. Lots of lines, lots of colors, maybe even shadows. Then I began searching a lineal, which I thought I…
This morning I really took an easy approach. The night had been really draining of energy, with my son waking a couple of times, screaming, shouting, the usual when he goes to bed overtired. In first place I decided to have a different breakfast this morning. I made a cake, something my son often wishes…
My son was asking me how animation movies are made. So I took a small memo pad and began drawing a little stick-man on it. Every little note had a different moving stick-man, so that when we let the papers roll a tiny animation movie evolved. (press on the picture below to see The Stick-Man…
Pretty late in the evening at 7 p.m. I began setting up my space for painting – a place I will be able to leave everything untouched, so I can continue where I stopped previously ANYTIME! Today I began doing what I promised to have had done until the end of last year 2015. I…

The exercises I need to be doing range from writing, reflecting, to creative tasks such as painting, doodling, collage making etc. Here goes the first one.
Zaragoza, Spain, 2003. In one of the magazines laying around the house I find an advertisement, which is showing a profile photograph of David Beckham’s face. I decide to draw him, and I must admit I didn’t meet his proportions. I might perceive his appearance simply from another perspective, since I only notice when I…
Zaragoza, Spain, 2002. In between my tight 10 hour schedule at the language school, which I split between course attendance and homework, I still find time to draw. I have always been fascinated about hands, and when the image of a hand holding a CD disk pops up in my mind, I bring this image…
Belize, 2006. Once a week I am visiting Helen in her Traditional Chinese Massage center in Corozal. She scrapes out tensions stored up in different parts of my body, mainly in the back and on the arms. She also uses all kind of other treatment tools to release any kind of tensions in my muscles….
