Labors of Light: a Journey into the Third Eye through Art
Embark on an artistic journey through the series of Light Works in which I masterfully capture the essence of the Third Eye in my paintings. This collection presents landscapes, cosmic elements and abstract forms, seamlessly intertwined in a dance of colors and lights.
Let yourself be drawn into the colors of my human soul, where the Unconscious and Invisible invite Consciousness to dance in new spheres of understanding and self-knowledge.

Painting in Premonition of the Third Eye
The Labors of Light images, although initially created without the conscious intention of representing the Third Eye, later discovered to have deep spiritual meaning. Delving into the practice of Light Yoga, I realized that my work is a visual manifestation of the Third Eye, a two-petalled lotus flower, leading to a higher state of consciousness and self-awareness. These paintings are a testament to the power of intuition and its ability to lead to deep insights, even when knowledge seems lacking.

Time's Brushstrokes Painting the Story of My Life
This page showcases oil and acrylic paintings from 1977-79, each featuring a single, recurring motif. Employing a thin, almost transparent multi-layered brushwork, the paintings were enigmatic at the time they were created.
In a span of three days, three similar paintings emerged, each depicting two hills reflected in water. Soon after, multiple canvases were filled with elements of the familiar world, seemingly immersed in the unknown. My brushes eagerly painted the same motif again and again, each variation a delightful exploration of living inspiration.
In 1998, I began a new painting with acrylics as a background for oil layers. To my surprise, after three hours of intense, concentrated work, the painting was complete. Entitled "Touch of Light", the piece was entirely abstract, with two fiery petals emerging from the light, reminiscent of hills and horizons.
In 1982, my introduction to the Yoga of Light provided clarity: the Labors of Light paintings were created in premonition of the Third Eye, traditionally depicted as a lotus flower with two petals.

Yoga of Light explains Paintings and Intuitions
It was the summer of 1982 in Berlin, and I found myself alone in a friend's home, surrounded by an impressive library and a piano that called forth my first musical dreams. In pursuit of purity, I stumbled upon literature on fasting and decided to give it a try.
For four weeks, I consumed only mineral water and an evening cup of tea with a teaspoon of honey. My body became flexible, and my senses heightened. I lost 10 kg and shed a few addictions, gaining deep insights into the nature of the world and myself. Eventually, I returned to a regular diet, starting with half an apple.
On a walk with that first apple, I saw a poster announcing the visit of a guru from India. Despite my skepticism towards rituals and ceremonies, I decided to attend the lecture. The master proved to be knowledgeable and strict in his teachings, promoting a life of meditation, extreme vegetarianism, and the rejection of drugs, alcohol, and coffee.
The following morning, I attended the initiation into the Yoga of Light, which involved opening the Third Eye. To my surprise, I discovered that my paintings, already completed, appeared in my Third Eye during meditation. I realized that my Labors of Light series unknowingly depicted the symbol of the Third Eye: a lotus flower with two petals.
As I participated in group meditations, I found the strict guidelines somewhat stifling—no sharing of visions, limiting exposure to the outside world, and painting considered unnecessary or even harmful. I decided to continue meditating on my own, embracing my individual experiences and trusting in the guidance of my intuition.
