Spring Morning At The Pond

I sit on a stone,
on the west side of the pond

Staring at the water,
waiting.
Nobody understands why

All I want is to see how
the rising sun colors the flowers
in the ripples
of a gentle spring breeze.

'Spring Morning At The Pond' is a new artwork in my collection 'Secret Places'.

Echo Of My Thoughts

In the morning of my dream
Only shadows will remain
Echoing the light of my thoughts

Awakening (2)

It is early in the morning, the beautiful medieval village of Corenno Plinio on Lake Como awakens. Narrow streets, old worn stairs. The streets are deserted, except for a single elderly resident climbing slowly up the steep steps early on. Here you will find many buildings with original details and no bars, restaurants or other tourist attractions. A gem!

'Awakening (2)' is an artwork in my collection 'Lost Cities', a digital transformation of my artwork Awakening.

The First Light (2)

The first light
Slowly awakening trees,
for a brief moment
woven in liquid gold

Summer Morning

Longing for that morning
I remember the garden
where I used to walk
Alone among the flowers
as the sun rose
into a long summer day

A walk through a flower garden, early on a summer morning. Musing amidst the allium, is it a memory, or a dream?

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke, on what we lose when we continue on the destructive path of ever more…

A New Day

Light. Hidden
behind a veil of silence
of the fading darkness
Celebrate a new day
Every day

Time is an abstract concept, but at the same time compellingly concrete. It's a human-designed scheme, into which we think all our doing (and what we don't do) should fit. And which must be accounted for regularly, with great accuracy. Perhaps time even is the only abstract concept of which most people feel they are constantly short.

Anuscka and I are in the fortunate position of feeling that we have more than enough time. And in doing so, we have become increasingly detached from the contrived scheme.

For us, a year is a bit much to comprehend and embrace. We try to focus our lives on the rhythm of the sunlight.

We wish you many beautiful new days. And we hope you will celebrate them, together with the people you love, in good health and with a positive spirit.

'A New Day' is a new artwork in my collection 'The Narrow Path'.
