W 1971 roku amerykański psycholog Paul Ekman przeprowadził wraz ze swoim zespołem badania na papuańskim plemieniu Fiore, dotyczące ekspresji stanów emocjonalnych. Zweryfikował on dzięki nim tezę, wyrażoną sto lat wcześniej przez Karola Darwina w dziele „The expression of the emotions in man and animals” (1872), o uniwersalności ekspresji emocji u przedstawicieli gatunku ludzkiego. Ekman wykazał, że dysponujemy sześcioma podstawowymi formami ekspresji, mimo że samych emocji istnieje oczywiście znacznie więcej. Dowiódł przy tym, że ekspresja, choć zdeterminowana zarówno biologicznie, jak i kulturowo, opiera się na solidnym ewolucyjnym, a więc i adaptacyjnym, fundamencie.

THE COLOR CARBON

Black and white photography collapses the world into a language of tone and shadow, transforming each image into a careful study of surfaces, edges, and the spaces between. The medium privileges observation over explanation. Surfaces retain a physical presence that demands attention, yet understanding is never imposed. In this quiet space, details emerge gradually, and the eye learns to read contrast, texture, and form with deliberate attentiveness.

Shadows are active and dynamic, shaping forms while dissolving the certainties the eye might bring. Black and white allows the image to exist in tension, embracing ambiguity without surrendering its internal logic. Here, the photograph becomes a dialogue between presence and absence, illuminating what appears while preserving the mystery of what slips away.

Roots and Horizons: Africa and Europe in Dialogue

A great Vernissage was held at Art84, 84 Pendenis Road, Mount Pleasant, Harare on 12 September 2025, marking a vibrant celebration of Zimbabwean creativity and cultural heritage. Guests were welcomed into an inspiring space where every detail reflected the spirit of the artists and their work. All paintings are presented as they appeared on the gallery walls, with framed works shown in similar frames to preserve the exhibition’s atmosphere. The evening was further enriched by delicious food and drinks provided by Tastee Bites, creating a warm and festive ambiance. It turned out to be an evening to remember, filled with art, dialogue, and community spirit. This Vernissage set a high standard and anticipation is already building for the next Vernissage in September 2026, which promises to be another outstanding celebration of creativity and culture.

Mexican artist Mariano Basile Mier y Terán paints from the gut. His surreal, symbolic figures and vivid palettes channel unspoken emotions, exploring dream states, fragility, memory, and the mind’s strange poetry.

I love this quote from Terry Tempest Williams. It has informed so much of my work for a long time. 
"When women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn, and to sing at dusk, was to heal the world with joy."

Speaking the Language of Birds

Eine Auswahl meiner aktuellen Aquarelle - abstrakte Bilder, abstrahierte Landschaften und Blumen sowie Gesichter - aber immer die fließenden Farben, die Aquarelle auszeichnen.
Die Bilder können mit Passepartout hinter Glas gerahmt werden. Alternativ kann die Oberfläche zum Schutz gewachst werden und die Bilder auf Platte aufgezogen z.B. in Schattenfugenrahmen eingesetzt werden (ohne Glas davor).

Step quietly into a world where memory breathes, instinct speaks, and the soul finds its voice. Visions Beyond the Veil invites viewers to explore the unseen layers of emotion, spirit, and transformation. These works do not merely depict—they reveal. They whisper of solitude, resilience, and the wild beauty that lives within.

This collection is a spiritual journey not bound by geography or time, but by the inner landscapes we all carry. Through vibrant color, delicate tension, and intuitive form, each piece offers a space for reflection, empowerment, and quiet awakening.

Let yourself be drawn beyond the surface. What you find there may not be what you expected—but it will be something true.
