My way

​

The time of my rebirth in the Swabian-Bavarian Diedorf was documented in the birth certificate from 1946, with the name "Johannes der Täufer Hofrohne." In my wonderful childhood on the edge of the village, between hills, by the river, surrounded by forests, I had a lot of time playing over my childish thoughts to deal with the meaning of life.

​

While studying at an art school, my youthful subconscious found opportunities to display feelings in dream-like metaphors. I practiced the practical implementation of my previous life experiences, together with art, as a freelance window designer.

​

A long break in the desert helped me to end this lucrative livelihood in the advertising industry. In the Algerian Sahara, I was confronted with a nature that combined fantastic emptiness with loneliness and space. Not in the hermitage of deserted deserts, but in the full reality system of the earth, I wanted to use further possibilities of my life.

​

This development step helped me to swap the solid earth for the salt water of the Mediterranean by buying a ship. The former Yugoslav Adriatic gave me the opportunity to turn this hobby into a profession. I showed my groups of holidaymakers the freedom of seafaring. I learned from them: How do I recognize the wishes of my fellow human beings in advance. The so-called Balkan War ended this business in a brutal way with an escape across the Mediterranean.

​

I lived out my penchant for technology, especially for cars, by restoring classic cars that I bought in Los Angeles, California. Working through the traces of a long car life fascinated me. I was able to live out my urge to make something that I had used up better and more beautiful. I also learned from the buyers of these classic cars that originality and rarity are more valuable than bulk.

​

In terms of sport, I was shaped by playing in several amateur league teams. The soccer game was my physical energy tank for 25 years. After my age-related goodbye to this passion, I was able to make my dream of earning a living with sport through training as a tennis teacher come true. In this game, I was fascinated by the absolute personal responsibility in tennis tournaments. Teaching with children was particularly fulfilling for me.

​

In order to be able to live together with wild animals such as eagles, lions, elephants and giraffes in the wild, I regularly swapped the winter time in Germany with the summer in the southern hemisphere. Slide presentations about tours in southern Africa brought me interested parties with whom I organized safaris in wild areas such as the Okavango Delta in Botswana. At the same time, in the German summer, I turned a dilapidated farm in Lower Bavaria into a small estate. A spring of my own that fed a lake, with an island, fields and meadows, ancient trees, made it easier for me to move from my Swabian place of birth, Diedorf, to Lower Bavaria. The breeding of Scottish highland cattle also provided for my livelihood there. These ancient cattle lived free like deer in the forest. The so-called mad cow disease in Europe meant that my herd was officially killed as a precaution.

​

The following freedom, I filled as an employee at the Red Cross in my city. This social-psychiatric ward provided rooms in which, under the guidance of psychologists, I could work out problem solutions with the people who were looking for help. With externally determined people who, for example, heard voices in their head that demanded to damage their own body, I got to know a power that redirects life-friendly feelings into life-threatening feelings within seconds.

​

In newly formed, up-and-coming Croatia, my old place of work by the sea, I founded a brokerage company. Through my extensive previous connections, I specialized in the sale of real estate properties on the Adriatic. This company gave me, the previous lone fighter, experience with a staff. I learned leadership there without playing boss.

​

Through these preoccupations with “the present”, as I like to call my work, the painting of pictures, photography, and the creation of sculptures with explanatory texts about my art, ran through all my activities, like three colored rainbow ribbons. I got information about my works of art from the dream worlds, about lucid dreams. For trend-setting decisions, I had and still have the dream as a consultant, which I already perceived as a shadow-giving cloud in my childhood.

​

“Your mother will die in 22 days”, this spoken dream, supplemented with pictures, prompted me to research creation beyond the age of fifty, reinforced and encouraged by my life experience. After my mother had said goodbye to the earth, I was allowed to accompany her otherworldly journey through dreams.

​

My last project is probably the expansion of a wildlife park in Namibia. There I want to discuss the following questions with interested people: "What opportunities arise after saying goodbye to the reality system earth to continue to collect happiness and joy"

​

After the publication of my FINE ART, many worldview expanding developments will be offered for this final life's work.
