Slow return to normal life (before the floods hit us)
In the Ruhr basin, people are returning to the streets and enjoying a visit to a coffee shop or restaurant. They still prefer to stay outdoors and wear masks whenever stepping inside.
At the Schlosscafé in Bochum, a Biergarten next to the Ruhr river, a restaurant or a bakery, it is delightful to enjoy someone else's baking with an expresso or hot chocolate.
After a lifetime in Venezuela, I moved to native Germany. It is not easy to start anew overseas, yet it offers marvelous opportunities! What is everyday monotony to most, is interesting new to me. I sketch everywhere, often on trains. There are tons of new things to record in my sketchbooks. I fear time is not enough to materialize all my ideas. I want to depict the enormous diversity of people around me in Europe.
My work has been presented in dozens of art exhibitions and competitions in Venezuela earning a few awards. It has been exhibited in several International Watercolor Biennials in Mexico and other venues, such as the First Andean Watercolor exhibition in Cuenca, Ecuador; Aquarela Internacional Sao Paulo in Brasil 2008, II International Watercolor Biennal 2011 in Spain, a special watercolor exhibition in Russia commemorating St. Peterburg´s tricentennial, as well as in other venues in Spain, Italy, USA, Brasil, Chile, Guatemala and Panama.
