It includes a C.V, information about my higher education in England in
psychology, art and teacher training, as well as the important personal
experiences I had while working with J.W. Goethe’s colour
apprenticeship. A gallery shows examples of my artistic work consisting
of oil and water colour paintings, collage and engravings.
Apart from Goethe, my artistic work was also influenced by William
Blake, Odilon Redon, the Symbolists and the Im- and Expressionists.
More than two hundred years ago and about one hundred years before
Albert Einstein surprised the world with his famous energy-formula,
William Blake wrote these lines:
“If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to
man as it is, infinite“
They inspired the musicians of „The Doors“, “The Moody Blues” and
many other people in the 1960s and also made the poem about energy
from Blakes’ Marriage of Heaven and Hell well known. It remains a
riddle to many people until this day, unless they gain some knowledge
about the wisdom of the chakras:
many other people in the 1960s and also made the poem about energy

riddle to many people until this day, unless they gain some knowledge
about the wisdom of the chakras:
Man has no Body distinct from his Soul,
For that called Body is a portion of Soul,
Discerned by the (twelve) Senses,
The chief inlets of Soul in this Age.
Energy is the only Life
And IS from the Body;
And Reason is the bound
Or outward circumference of Energy.
Energy is Eternal Delight.
William Blake 1793
