In Asia flowers have a deeper meaning, and the Frangipani flower is considered as an essence from nature that brings enlightenment and kindness. There are so many frangipani trees in our neighborhood here in Bandung.

Every morning, very early, when the air is still fresh, we make a walk, and I love to collect the fallen flowers.

There are some things, that just smell so good: coffee, jasmin, orange blossoms, and frangipani flowers.

This painting is a lovely memory of my love for Java and frangipani flowers.

 Beautiful warm and earthy colours inspired by the spice curcuma.

Dancing to her own rhythm singing her song, coloring her rainbow wandering in her colored sky, writing her own poetry. A love story of her with her soul. Finding beauty in her own reflection.

I love to create abstract artwork because it leaves so much room for intuition, freedom and serendipity. Dream away and let the story unfold…

xTiny

Dreaming. Embracing the quiet of the night before the day begins.

Following the light. Embracing every part of the journey listening and learning. Sometimes the story unfolds different, but that doesn’t mean less beautiful…

Trusting the process. Free to try again, appreciating the unexpected.

So much passion. Open heart seeing more, my feet on the ground.

Stillness reminds me this present moment. My mind and harmony with my heart embracing the stillness Loving embrace.

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.

Du bist auf der Suche nach einem Geschenk, aber unsicher, was du schenken sollst? Dann ist die tinystories Geschenkkarte genau das richtige.

"I think, that giving art as a present is a wonderful way of passing on sentiment, showing that you know a person, that you are thinking of her/him, and giving them something that they’ll cherish." x Tiny

I love the mountains, rivers and the ocean. On our winding journey of life, we are like the river, coursing it's way gingerly toward the sea, exploring the universe of that inward journey toward the self.

Looking at a picture, allowing yourself to be absorbed, is quite similar to reading. Immersing into a story, diving in.

I love to get lost in reading books and I painted this artwork to remind myself to read more.

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.

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”.

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.

I drew this paining watching a beautiful sunset in Poylnesia, the colours shifted in tones with every inch the sun set further into the coean, merged with the sea.

It’s a beautiful day. Let’s take a bath in the warm sunlight. It’s a beautiful day. Follow the love, follow the light.

I love to paint female faces, eyes, their curves, their sensuality… Look at Serene and find her hidden aspects, find what lies beneath the surface.

Morning sun in my atelier, rays lightening up the room. Could a smile may be the same as sunshine? Cause it banishes winter coldness from the human countenance. Sweet summer morning..

I painted in a field of flowers in France on antique linen and cotton and finished the painting in my atelier after returning home and then stretched the fabric on a frame… and I keep looking at her.

In Japan the color red is regardred as an auspicious colour and associated with happines, strength and joy. This painting always makes me happy, I love the bright color and the pattern of her kimono.
