Hotel rooms can be lonely...

At Premium Inn in Abu Dhabi!
... especially when one is tired and anxious to reach one's destination. After waiting at the Etihad Premium Transfer Desk we were given room and food vouchers. But not before the staff tried to re route us to Chennai via Mumbai and New Delhi. Being stubborn helped me on to a direct flight to Chennai, albeit almost 13 hours later. So one whole day was wasted doing nothing. Looking at the upside, I reached Chennai after getting some sleep.
Made me ponder as to how people that are constantly on the move cope. The film "Up in the Air" with George Clooney does not address the issue of our body coping with the stress of flying enough, if you ask me. The many miles notwithstanding, hotel rooms are lonely and constant travelling is NOT for me. Kudos to those who do it!

    I am an artist. I live and work in Berlin.
    I started to paint colour fields (very much inspired by Mark Rothko and other American Abstract Expressionists) and now have evolved into an admirer of the Bauhaus Movement. I am still  a seeker: minimalist concrete art finds resonance in me, while the rich colours and traditional art forms of my home country that flow in me and breathe in me, also find expression in my work.
    My work, I believe is a synthesis of all these influences and seeming contradictions. I am now knocking a dent into concrete art, non objectively so to speak! I work serially and can endlessly look for emerging patterns in my work.
    This has been a wonderful journey, and as they say: the path is the destination.
    ​In my blog posts, I am letting you have a peek over my shoulder, into my sketch books and small works, which will someday flow into my big canvases and other works; works that I will actually display or exhibit (or may be not).
    My blog posts are more about my process and what motivates me to paint and create.
