Luxembourg Central Station is the most pleasant railway station I have had the opportunity to visit so far. It is small, intimate, and feels safe. You can buy a good coffee and a croissant here, for example at Oberweis, a well-known Luxembourgish bakery and pâtisserie that impressed me many years ago with its selection of beautifully decorated and delicious pastries.I…

IGOR MITORAJ’S SCULPTURES
While strolling through the Parco della Neapolis (the Neapolis Archaeological Park) in Sicily, I came across beautiful classical sculptures perfectly integrated into the park’s surroundings. These sculptures caught my eye because they seemed familiar to me. I felt like I had seen them somewhere before – especially the heads wrapped as if in bandages.

CAN THIS BE CALLED GENERATIVE ART?
Do you ever feel the need to immerse yourself in art? When does this need arise for you? For me, it arises when I haven’t had the chance to create something new for too long, something that I would be satisfied with. I start to feel like I’m trapped in a dreadful routine, and my brain stops exerting itself. It’s…

END OF A STRANGE YEAR
It was a very strange year … A year at home. Like domestic animals, we had to get used to our corners, our mess, our home problems – big and small, furniture, neighbors … The option “go out and close the door behind you”, get some air, cool down, leave – it ceased to count. It was here and now.…
