1973, from the time when I fantasized big paintings, through small sketches.
TOfind the bright way, to find the path that leads to greater awareness!
TObalance on the line, the thin thread that ranges through life and time, through all the storms, all unexpected living space without losing balance … anyways without falling, it has always been a stunning reality for me… from my time as a kid right up to this day!
I see that we as well as float like balloons after ourselves, our consciousness is not integrated with our physical existence. No wonder it’s perplexing to ’’do the walk’’ through life!

Yesterday I had a long meeting with Swedish-French painter Bengt Olson, who was prepering himself for the tripp back to Paris and to his wife Cric… after an extra long ”staying” in Sweden.
Bengt is telling stories while I am sketching him. This afternoon he is remembering some disappointments concerning a work… and I must say, that energy adds some intense vibes to the sketch!
Find the inner room where the noise does not reach!
The truth is – it is only then as we can understand and clearly perceive what is happening around us outside ourself…. and it´s only then as we can consciously navigate in the outer world!
Unfortunately it is so easy to forgett the inner room…but that is so urgent to be in touch with it … it should be the main goal!

This summer 2015, a sunny august … in the garden.
My sister Bibbi and I had a sketch-session in the garden under a small shady apple tree … we knew what was going on… two weeks later Bibbi died.

Thursday, 8/20 2015, my highly and deeply loved sister Bibbi left the earth.
Bibbi, so beautiful, so amazing talented … something the world missed because Bibbi made herself visible only to the family and immediate circle of friends.
I will miss her so much … to see her, to hear her and laugh with her!
Bibbi has always been my first choice of person to show my work … she had a deep, clear and unique picture vision … the best!
Bibbi also had a great knowledge when it came to words, language … all kinds of texts. When she very rarely wrote … it was fantastic!
Bibbi, Bibbi … I am deeply grateful to all our moments, days, laughter and tears!
Miss you and love you forever!
Your adoring sister Zeppa
That day… that late summer day… when we all found us in another sphere.
twin sister CeciliaIn the twin-sister garden… that day Bibbi left.
Bibbi didn´t believe in life after death! Now… I wonder…
I can´t believe that she don’t exist at all. I believe that somewhere – in an other dimension – her spirit is alive!
I wish I could time-travel to this day, to this beach and meet Bibbi there… because sometimes I dream that she is there!
I have made a sketch from a photo… mixed with my own inner vision – Bibbi in Spain, like 9 years old in a all to big bathing suit in a non bating suit fabric. She and her twin sister were so very thin in this age but full of super energi and curosity – they were kind of a dream team – so incredible sweet! And they had an admirer named “Koftan” which they hung out with a lot.

1977 – 15 year – happy and on holidays
… when life as a grown up began, with a lot of wonderful & exciting possibilities!
