Back in summer I put together a small To-Want list for the third quarter — not as a strict plan, but as a gentle reminder of what really matters to me. No “musts”, no “shoulds”, more of an “I’d like to”. Now that the days are drawing in and my focus has shifted back towards the studio and being seen, I can feel how good this format is for me. It doesn’t push, ...
September was quiet. The days ticked by with three blog articles, a small commissioned piece, fine-tuning the website and a new 50 cm mandala that is currently growing. At the same time, the weather was glorious – and a few breaths of Baltic Sea air did me good. Looking back on the month, it seems almost unspectacular...
This year I turned 50. Fifty! The number feels perfect. I look back: I think about experiences, encounters, and moments that touched my heart. At the same time, I look ahead: What will remain? What do I really want to leave behind in this world? For me, the answer was clear: it lies (above all) in my art — and in passing it on. In this article, I write about ...
Following the recently published first outlook, here is already the first review – and I am a little shocked. Looking back, I realised that I didn't paint much in July. A commissioned work – yes. But beyond that: not much. Well, that baffled me for a moment. But then I looked through the list of everything else the July had in store ...
Sometimes people ask me why I paint mandalas of all things. And why I use the dot painting technique. Even though it requires so much patience. Here are five reasons why. ...
Achieving visibility with more ease, joy and courage Even though the third quarter has been going on for a while, this outlook is worthwhile for me. Because this list is not a classic to-do list, but my very personal to-want list for summer 2025. An invitation to myself: What do I want to experience? What can grow? What do I want to create space for? Things that I want to create and feel ...
When I start a mandala, I have no idea what the finished piece will look like. I decide on the colour palette, sometimes a shape, and then I put the first dot on the board. From there, everything develops step by step. I observe what emerges, what fits, what feels right. The structure of the mandala builds itself up without me planning it in advance. And that is ...
Mandala painting is more than creative expression – it is a state of mind. As soon as a pattern begins to repeat itself, something changes within me: I become calmer, my head clears and my focus shifts entirely to the here and now. Without thinking too much, I follow the rhythm point by point – and often find more inner peace than in a whole day full of to-dos. ...
For me, mandala painting is not only a creative process, but also a school of mindfulness. While much of today's world is spinning faster and faster and efficiency often takes precedence over everything else, creating a mandala is a conscious decision to slow down. Step by step, something big emerges – but never in a hurry.
