Here she is… Sakina

The desert moves,

sand and wind

around her.

Her gaze is serene,

a quiet place

within.

She follows

the sun above

and the whispering wind.

The Secrets of the Medina

 Whispers of the wind through the narrow streets of the medina, where I glimpse the palms,

Wondering what beauty may unfold,

Discovering the secrets of the medina.

Behind each door, another waits,

New paths, new lights,

New unseen gates.

Each gateway holds a truth inside.

Each one teaches me something new.

The magic of doors in the medina.

Trusting the path,

Following the light.

Evening Glow

Palms whispering,
their leaves sway slow,
a gentle sea breeze
begins to blow.

The sky is warm,
in golden glow,
so peaceful
as the sun sinks low.

And with it comes
a silent vow:
tomorrow brings
a fresh new now.

I love the shades of brown in my home. It’s a warm rich color and blends so good with other shades and accents in my home. I love to add a little coral or pink like some fabric or candles. It’s like instant brightness and it’s beautiful with the brown artwork.

Brown is beautiful with complementary colors such as red or yellow-whites, dusky pink, lighter blue or sage green. The warmth of brown is associated with reliability, healing and strength. Brown associates with the earth, a calming and resilient element that keeps us quite grounded.

The ancient Greeks had two words for love: “eros” to describe sexual attraction and “philia” to capture the feeling of a person being an immensely close soulmate which is beautiful, because friends are important. Friendships can be as deep as being in love. It’s always been second nature to me to show my love and appreciation for those related or not, through words. Maybe we have to tell our friends, family and partners more often “I love you”.

Live for the tiny little things in life. Life is a series of thousands of tiny little miracles. Live for sunrises and sunsets. The sound of the ocean, the smell of the rain and starry nights. Live for the small words of praise, a smile. The tiny things like a good cup of coffee or a fresh smelling flower, a handwritten love note or the smile of a stranger. Live for the tiny things in life, because they will make you realize that this is what life is about. Let’s dance in the sunlight, wearing wildflowers in our hair. Live for the tiny little things.

Let’s go on an adventure, a boat lost between the clear summer sky and the shimmering deep blue hue of the wide ocean. Invite a part of the ocean and the sky inside your home with this painting from the time I spent in Tasmania.

The lighter side of life a little bit slower… A little bit less prepared leaving room for life to surprise you with so many wonderful things. Coloring the lines finding the silver lining. Light & pure. Softness with strength, new sensations. The light dances with the purity of the natural.

Inspired by the wild.

I love wildflowers, growing anywhere and everywhere. Blooming in all the places people thought they never would…

Growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day, simply following the sun…

A celebration of uniqueness and acceptance. Nature cherishes each brilliant, quirky bloom—and so will we. Let's be brave and true.

Once on a beautiful autumn day a gorgeous canvas of golden ginkgo leaves carpeted our street. Beautiful yellow golden leaves everywhere. A magical feeling which was captured in this painting.

In Japan the ginkgo's fan-shaped leaf has carried symbolism along with its singular beauty: a symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, and a symbol of longevity as the tree can live for a thousand years.

I walk home across the rice-fields, green emerald rice fields. The grassy blades whispering, swaying in the gentle breeze. Let us walk once again through the innocent charm of the paddy fields. Hiding ourselves in this cocoon of simplicity. Emerald green fields.

Chestnut, brown, terra, sienna… An ode to the colors of the earth, the colors of life.

The female body, in all it's shapes, is always a big inspiration for me. I love the individuality, the small flaws making it just perfect.

Life is all about connecting with what’s around us. Nature, family, friends and strangers. Sometimes you do not need words to connect, it can be a look, a gesture, a smile and you feel the connection within.

Sweet day dreaming. The mind is wandering with no goal to be reached, just thoughts coming and going, evolving and flowing.
