The area as you can see has evidence of a volcanic activity,  there is hot bubbling water, steaming holes and yellow sulfur everywhere. Since it was in February, snow was covering the mountain, and what I saw at… Read More Ice near volcano.

New York spring blizzard, March 2017


New York under snow offers a unique experience. New Yorkers try to stay home or go to the Central Park for cross-country skiing, tourists – fill up their cell phones with selfies. Roads are covered with slushy white that turns blue (for some reason Windex is used  to melt snow, but it doesn’t seem to work)… Read More New York spring blizzard, March 2017

That secret place at the edge of the world…


“How did you find out about it?” they asked me. “We keep it a secret, there is even no website”. “My Irish artist friend told me about it” I replied. An art residency, located at the edge of the world – remote Ireland – is a big secret. I was lucky to be accepted. Out of… Read More That secret place at the edge of the world…

Bohemian style of life. Amsterdam art atelier.


My plan was to find an accommodation for the duration of my stay in Amsterdam, as I was going to the Netherlands for a series of my exhibitions. There is always a choice of Airbnb, which I love, but for a longer time it may still become pricy. My friend who lives in Amsterdam remembered… Read More Bohemian style of life.

Animals of India


I loved to see the way Indian people live in a harmony with Indian animals. I think I saw all possible animals that can live next to humans, but elephants (I know there are though). Please enjoy my photo report.
