About this artwork
I had a scholarship in Grez-sur-Loing in 1999. There was this canal and old houses. Everything was still gray-brown in anticipation of spring. I enjoyed the loneliness and the colorless. I went on long hikes every day. Also for shopping. A year later this picture was taken from inside.

« My art is uncompromising and direct. It is unique in its poetic, musical expression. The heart is its abode. It connects with the soul's longing for freedom, co-creation and participatory commitment. »
