still going green

Yesterday, I packed 240 kg perfume and because this is so super boring I took breaks. Usually, I do not do “lunch” breaks in the sense of : I usually do not eat much during the day, but instead of eating I paint or do other brain twisting things. Like thinking about perfume formulas.

Hyacinth and other treats

It is spring in Zurich, for sure and for real and it is fantastic. The hyacinths are in bloom on the veranda, more than last year as I planted more bulbs in autumn. Not all of them are equally fragrant and they do not smell exactly the same. But they smell and it is very […]

art projects

Today’s picture is really too small to see. The original is 70×50 cm and an experimental acyrylic work. Let’s give it a title: Broken city. Or “failed experiment”. I was experimenting with spatula, brushes and lot! of water.  Not every experiment really works. On the perfume side of my daily life things work out nicely […]
