My way of life

​

The time of my rebirth  in the Swabian-Bavarian Diedorf was documented in the birth certificate  from 1946, with the name  Johann the Baptist court drone. In my wonderful childhood  on the edge of the village, between hills, by the river, lined with forests, I had a lot of time to discuss my childish thoughts  to play with the meaning of life.

Studying on a  Art school showed me the way to my youthful subconscious. I practiced the practical implementation of my previous life experiences as a shop window designer. This freelance livelihood in the advertising industry  I finished after a long break in the Algerian Sahara. There I was confronted with the untamed nature at first hand. From now on I wanted to continue to be confronted with the fullness of earthly life, not in the hermitage of a desert, but in full life, when what I had learned was over  this period of life.

​

By buying a ship, I swapped solid earth for the salt water of the Mediterranean. The former Yugoslavia 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 know in advance  Wishes of my fellow human beings. The so-called Balkan War ended this business in a brutal way.

​

I lived out my passion for technology, especially for cars, by restoring classic cars that I bought in Los Angeles, California. The processing of the traces of a long car life  fascinated me. I could improve my urge to make something that I had used up better and more beautiful  act out. I learned through the sales of these classic cars, originality is more valuable than mass.

​

Amateur football for 25 years  in several league teams  shaped me sportily. After saying goodbye to this passion  I was able to live my old dream of earning a living with sports through a tennis teacher training course  make it true. In this game, I was fascinated by the absolute personal responsibility of individual sport in tournaments, as well as the paid teaching job, which I found particularly fulfilling when working with children.

​

To make my dream come true with wild animals  like lions, elephants, giraffes  living together in the wild, I swapped Germany's winter time  regularly with the summer of the southern hemisphere.  Slide presentations about southern Africa brought me interested parties with whom I organized safari tours in wild areas such as the Okawango Delta in Botswana. At the same time I was building  in the German summer  turned a dilapidated farm in Lower Bavaria into a small estate. Its own spring, a lake with an island, ancient trees  made it easier for me to move from Swabia to Lower Bavaria. Breeding Scottish highland cattle provided for my livelihood. These ancient cattle lived like deer in the forest on my meadows. The so-called mad cow disease resulted in my herd being officially killed.

This emptiness in my natural place  gave me the strength to be in the newly formed  Croatia, my home by the sea, to set up a brokerage company. I specialized in real estate 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 “current”, how I like what I do  I call them, like three colored threads, the painting of pictures, the photography, the creation of sculptures through all other previous activities. I got information about my life, about my works of art, from the dream worlds, through more lucid dreams. With texts I document the metaphors of the dream  to the respective dreamed works of art. My entire life became like a cloud that provides shade  accompanied by my dreams. Dreams helped me make directional decisions.

​

  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. When my mother said goodbye to earth, I was allowed to continue accompanying her otherworldly journey through dreams.

My last project is probably the construction of a guest lodge in Namibia. There I want to discuss with my family and friends the question of what possibilities arise after a physical death in order to further experience happiness, joy and, with their help, to develop the feeling of love.
