Kreuzberg, Berlin: My Creative Haven
Welcome to Kreuzberg, the vibrant district of Berlin that I have called home for more than four decades. As an artist, writer, and web designer, I immerse myself in the area's cultural richness, capturing its essence through my art. Occasionally, I also tend to the streets by sowing and planting flowers, adding life and color to our urban landscape. Join me in discovering the spirit of Kreuzberg through my unique perspective.
Reflections on Life and Beauty Contrasts and Harmony in Kreuzberg
Me at Mariannenplatz; every summer, I find solace on this stone, embracing the wind and sun's infinite dance. Kreuzberg's so-called normalcy.
Yellow bush flowers, pinkish cherry blossoms. Daytime stars pierce the sky behind the wall – a Kreuzberg specialty, for the stars never leave!
Delicate colors of blossoming plants today. In them, I see the infinite passing through!
Full moon over Kreuzberg, viewed through glass with a hole. Is that why the roundness of the moon tends to drop shape? Maybe it will turn into a bright tear to remind me that that life is not simple.
Nature's Whispers Amidst Urban Life
