Kindred spirit at play in the world
I am going to share with you a deep desire. Yet first I want to let you know
how deeply appreciative I am that you are here. So thank you. For being you and nothing else.
And also thank you for taking the time and attention to be with me on this journey of life.
So take a deep breath and come with me….
1 Year of Artistic and Spiritual Exploration
A Deep Desire
• 1 year of art and healing in nature
Playing time to create – 1 year of freedom to collaborate with nature and make art to bring light into your world
Goal: financial freedom to create (start up my art practise), next year I can apply for a subsidy)
• Art meets Healing – Creation meets spirituality (spirit)
• A bridge connecting the Andes and Himalayan mountain range
• An exploration of the 5 elements to be in touch with essence
Art in Healing,
Creation in Spirituality
The Art of Healing
There is healing in art, and, there is art in healing.
This is quite personal. Art is personal. For me. Right now.
It is also intimate. As intimate as it gets. And for me, it is about healing. Healing the intimacy with myself, in nature and with my own innate strength. This is a way of showing up as I truly am. Loving nature, loving myself. Honoring all aspects of myself as far as I can right now.
I have come to realize that the art I make comes in the form of an act of healing. It is a way to reconnect profoundly with the world around me.
Self love. Embracing me / I.
Singing, loving, creating, music, dancing. Connecting to old cultures and rituals.
Spirit of Creation
Being in union with the spirit let’s creation play itself.
There is nothing to do, there is only a natural unfolding happening in the here and now.
Lightness meets liveliness, where presence joins environment, rejoicing the individual relationship with the self extending to everywhere.
At the heart of the heart lies connection, union, the joining together and weaving of all things as a tapestry for life. In this work I am immersing myself with the forces of nature, of places, of people, of darkness, of light.
Art is healing once it comes into connection. To me one place this comes very naturally is within the raw forces of the elements, in the play of places, people, darkness and light.
What I want to do for you (why)
I am giving
“At the moment you put any kind of art in the system you create light.”
I want to be that light for you, for others, for the world. In my way. In the process, as I go and interact, create and do. I want to make inspiring art so that you can enjoy, have a look at the world that enriches you, perhaps something that reminds you of a very dear and personal thing in life. I hope to be, through my work, a bridge between the world and you. And I wish it will touch you so you can touch the world.

{ Human} Being in Nature
Being in one’s own true nature.
Nature is our view of the natural world surrounding us, the environment we live in. It is also our most essential inner being. It i so highly paradoxical to me that there must be a sense of truth in their relationship. And it is simple too. The body loves bathing in water, the eyes cherish a soft gaze in the fire, the feet dance with the earth.
Connecting to the forces of the universal world and letting them play through the individual body, residing in- and moving with one’s own nature is a path of intimacy with all of life.
The essence of the elements around us consist of the same elemental energies playing in and through our bodies on a physical and spiritual level.
Connecting to the energy and presence of my surroundings is a central practise in my work. As I align with the world around me work can come into existence in a creative collaboration with the natural world.
We learn to see her through our own eyes as we touch it with our hands and feet. Resting in one’s essential nature, each encounter a new moment to see a world beyond our own, every experience a way to learn, each touch attuning our senses, bridging inner mind and outer world together as one.

The way of the wanderer
A nomadic way of creating art with the lands. Where wandering meets art in nature.
Values: Spontaneity, love, serendipity, openness of being in the world.
1. Starting point – how I approach the work
2. Values – what I value when I work
The Way
of the { Wanderer}
A Point of Departure
The deliberate act of wandering is my point of departure to land in creativity. A way of going beyond the thinking mind, opening up to a deeper sense of wonder and a more embodied experience of what I encounter.
This involves a high degree of trust to ‘stumble upon’ places and become involved in serendipitous encounters. It is a starting point that I simultaneously love and am terrified of, a chance encounter with the vast, unknown world in it’s most majestic and unexpected form.
It humbles me to learn, time and time again, that all I can do is take that very first step, embracing with swift decisiveness the trust in my natural, instinctive knowing of which way to go, gently approaching the parts of the world leaning back into me.
Whole World with Me
A thank you for trust, strength and courage
Perhaps the most important thing in adventures is trust. Trust in ourselves, but far greater trust in our loved ones, in family and friends and ultimately, trust in the universe that it will guide us wherever we are and will go.
To me this journey is not happening without you. Non of my past steps were and non of my future steps will be.
The concept of ‘A whole world with me’ refers to you as a friend, family member or acquaintance because I think of you in the moments I need strength, in the hard times that present itself. Whenever I feel doubt I go to a place where all of you are with me, around me, supporting me and ultimately giving me the inner strength to do what I love and transform that into something I can share with this world.

Essence of the
{ Elements}
A conversation between the body and the elements
The elements are a way to be in touch with the bare essence of life. In my works I realize unity through sensitivity, using the senses as a portal to the inner- and outer landscapes.
Being so close to- and immersing myself with the elements of blazing fire, gushing water, kissing wind, holding earth and gracing space is vital in my own process of embodying universal and individual love.
Sensitivity and Instinctive Creation
The elements are also an intricately woven field of energetic movements made by unseen particles that make up the world that we navigate. Immersing myself in- and moving in unity with these elements makes me part of the elemental dance.
And so each work is a process of attending to whatever its is that unfolds in presence, as a present.

The Artist Studio will play an important role in this adventure. It is the place of balance, rest and integration. Imagine being out all day in the wooing winds of the mountain desert in the Himalayas, I would love to have a great sleep afterwards.
In both Peru and India I will stay in a humble artist’s studio. It is a place for living as well as for creation and integration.
