Plate Issue
What a wonderful idea, to have the perfect set of plates and tableware, elegantly matching together in one scenerie, but with different motifs on each piece.
This seems to be a difficult task, because I´ d have to decide for one single set…
Childhood Dream
Since I am absolutely not into cars – the more I was surprised to find a dream of my childhood came true ironically at Rolls Royce at Kurfürstendamm / Berlin…
Out of the Box
Soooo many fantastic ideas out there – and the most inspiring ones, as I feel, are those which open up new vistas.
That is what`s always catching me – that unexpected twist of something I already believe to know…
When Computers dream
Have you ever heard of the deep dream? Google invented this software which works like an artificial neural network. It is now able to see and recognize patterns in images and interprets objects in them with its own datasets…
Childs Own
So this overwhelmed me – such a sweet idea! And such a talent of artist Wendy Tsao from Vancouver to bring the doodled sketches and painted pictures of children into real life…
Play with Reality
Today I would like to introduce you to the colourful work of Claudia Levin – firstly a wonderful and lovely woman I just met recently and secondly a very inspiring visual artist. I am totally impressed by her warm and charismatic pictures, and the way she develops them.
The Dot – Point of View
What really drives me as a human being is trying to see the so called outside world from different views and angles. That´ s why I love to watch perspective changing movies and I am fascinated by art, which is able to do that …
Art Outing
I love those kind of actions!! Why keep all the beauty of our master art pieces locked inside the museums?
The Future Mirror
I often walk through town and just love to watch how other people dress – especially elder ones! And I find amazing inspiration in it when they style themselves in a unique or unusual personal way. This is really a fun game to play…
Charlottes Paintings
It is such a sad story to tell – about the short life of Charlotte Salomon. Just by chance I heard of this german painter, who was murdered 26 years old at KZ Auschwitz 1943.
A friend of my daughter had to talk about her in school ….
Fashionable Landscapes
Yes – I totally LOVE fashion! And recently I fell in love with this beautiful top by Designer J.W. Anderson. The landscape motif is so captivating, I did a little research and found out, the artwork was made by textileartist John Allen (81)…
Don´t buy me flowers!
Now this is a very special day for me, as today is the 7th anniversary of my man and me. And as we are both pretty occupied with „stuff“, we won´t celebrate it in any big way…
Art to Smile
One of my favourite artists is Martin Creed from the UK. I was attracted by his work in the London restaurant Sketch. Creed is internationally acclaimed for working across a multitude of disciplines including installation, sculpture, music, dance and film. And he got famous when he won the turner price 2001. What I like so much about him is his playful approach towards art.
Sarah´s Art
Puuh… so hard to decide for only one of her wonderful pieces: Sarah Illenberger is a multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin and does such great work at the intersection of art graphic design and photography. She is highly creative and there is always fun and a twist in her work.
Crocheting Madness
She must be a maniac! This girl from poland – her name is Olek – is so exiting, inspiring and full of bursting energy. She is crocheting her whole world in order to transform it – I am always reminded of a cocoon…
P.E.T. – Art
PET Bottles. Hm, yes – not really inspiring objects. We all know them, use them, collect them and return them (at least in Germany). Veronika Richterova doesn`t…
Only for Yourself
When did you write your last CV or your biography?
Was it to apply for a job? Or for your website? Some days ago a friend of mine called me with an issue that sent me on a quite interesting time travel. She is writing a book about single moms…
Mr. Right and Mrs. Perfect!
Mrs. Perfect lives near my place and I don´t know her personally.
Sometimes she passes me by on her bike with her children (she has four!) and she always keeps herself in this graceful upright position. She´s blond…
Do one thing everyday that scares you!
As I write to you in english you have for sure realized that I do need a lot of practice. :)
I know! ;)
Some of the reasons why I write in english:
Microbes and Germs
Alicia Watkins from Connecticut calls herself weird and she likes weird stuff – just like I do :) Her art is cross stitching and with this idea she is really out of the box! Just adorable funny!
Wall Art
Gosh! This just left me speechless! I am a big fan of wallpapers, but this one is way more than that: High quality nonwoven wallpaper from Dutch brand NLXL.
Berlin Art and Style
Wanna know what is the upcoming – really promising future place to be for Berlin art? It will be the former factory compound at Lehderstrasse 34 in Berlin Weissensee initiated by Jonas Burgert…
Off the Frame
If you look around your flat – are you happy with your wall decoration? With mine I was definitely not! Every time I sat eating at my kitchentable, I had an urge of doing something with that boring white wall …
Golden Feeling
Spring arrives – and what more does a girl need than a shiny golden shoe – mirroring the sun? :))…
Space Desk
I found the perfect writing – desk, I only need a bigger room for it:) It is functional and yet so cool and modern and… tataa here it is! …
Ironing Pictures
I often meet such talented people who do extraordinary stuff, but they don´t pursue it! One example are the lovely iron-on-transfers by Ewa Wendler-Dabek…
