”Was bist du, Narr,
Vor Winters in die Welt – entflohn?
Die Welt – ein Tor
Zu tausend Wüsten stumm und kalt!”
Friedrich Nietzsche
(Why did you, fool,
Flee from the winter into the world?
The world - a gate
To a thousand deserts mute and cold!)
Bio
Born in 1966 in Austria, I studied landscape ecology and work in nature conservation and sustainable development. Life-long I attended lectures in Humanities, including history of arts, at Viennese universities, but I started painting only late in life (2019). I attended painting and drawing courses by Haider Al-Zubaidi and Udo Hohenberger.
