Overview
About Me
ARCHITECTURE is my great passion! It is the interaction between art, science, philosophy, design, past and future. With archictecture comes great responsibility for individuals, a (sustainable) society, hence the world we live in. Furthermore it is the duty to respond to needs and CREATE room and space according to these needs.
ARTS alsways gave me great inspiration and let me just dream away to foreign countries, places off the grid, into deep coloures and abstract forms. And most of the time the artists themselves have not always a great but always a interesting personality with a equaly interesting vita.
MARTIAL ARTS are another passion of mine! I´m practicing filipino martial arts since six years and tried others like Silat, Karate, Kung Fu, Muay Boran and so forth. Martial art is a striving for inner and outer perfection in balance first in movement later in character and life itself, it is about control and unselfishness.
Any lack of clarity in the mental process manifests itself in a lack of accuracy in movement causing inefficient motion.
TRAVELING gets people open minded by getting them in touch with different cultures or needs people to be open minded thus contributing to a less xenophobic world. Everywhere I go it is facinating me, it doesn´t matter if I am visiting a big city, a little village or just wander at countryside, I´m always discovering somesthing beatuiful for myself.
And after I found a great place while travelling I won´t miss good LITERATURE. It doesn´t matter whether it is a novel, a non-fiction book, a magazine or a guide, reading enriches me always.
Another huge passion of mine is MUSIC. I play drums and percussion, basicly everything you could knock. I paused it draged it around the last few years but by now I reveal it! It is great! Feeling the rhythm, being the rhythm fills my heart and my soul with joy and happines. Music is basicly the best thing ever, there is no doubt about it!
So that´s basicly me in a nutshell.
