What is creativity?
Creativity is a big word that in my opinion is not
used often enough. I here a lot of people say: "I'm not
creative" and thereby not acknowledging the creator inside.
What does creativity mean? Do you have to be an artist to
be creative? No, not at all. Creativity just means to find solutions for
yourself and to create something beautiful or useful that will enrich your
own and/or others life.
This can be anything from telling a story to a child to
writing a letter or drawing a picture.
We are all creative geniuses in our own right. Go, say it:
"I'm creative", because if you are not you wouldn't get anything
done in your life. You cook, isn't that creative? You tell other people
about your ideas, isn't that creative? You build a house, isn't that
creative?
You might think that these are all very ordinary things,
but let me assure you that this spark of creativity in you can lead to
extraordinary adventures and can touch many lives if you put your love
into it.
What does love have to do with it?
Love is the one thing that distinguishes a real creative
artist from the ordinary creator. If you do anything with love, it becomes
a creation extraordinaire.
It is hard to explain, but you probably experienced it yourself.
For example, you go in a restaurant one day and the food just tastes like
heaven, you go in the next day and the food is just food. One day the Chef
put all his attention and love into his job and the other day he
didn't.
Or in a retail outlet, one sales person who loves his job and one who
doesn't. Who do you think will stand out? Which one will make your day?
If you allow yourself to feel Love, to give it and to
receive it, your imagination will widen and open your consciousness to a
higher view of things.
While looking for some words to express Creativity I also
found the following explanations in the "A Cosmic Sea of Words : The
Eckankar Lexicon"
Creative action = That doingness which comes out of
AWARENESS of being the image and likeness of God
Creative activity = Doing something of a spiritual nature,
besides existence in the materialistic worlds, in order to develop
spiritual sensitivity
Creative cycle = That which starts, changes and stops with
with each rest point. Requires the combination of the negative and
positive streams, and their complete stillness to achieve the lack of
motion which gives the complete static of pure life.

“I like to take the seriousness away from art
without compromising the true mastery of art.”
Since early childhood I was drawn to paint . For a
long time I was painting mainly with pencil. Only in my late 30’s did I
discover my love for oil colours. From this point onward I’ve dedicated
my life to painting.
I admire all artist who paint objectively, many of the old classic
masters, the impressionists and many current artists and illustrators as
well.
Most of my motivation to paint I find in the beauty
of nature. A sunset, some grass, a butterfly, a bird, a horse a snail;
sometimes moving to the realm of fantasy like angels, and dream
landscapes. I like to capture the wonderful essence of this planet, to
avert the volatility of beauty.
Inspiration for the „Healing Art“ was born during
summer 2003 in a church. The text fragment of a song “God's house made
from greenery” inspired a picture in my fantasy that I can only describe
as a “healing picture”, green, protecting, blue, cooling, golden and
relaxing.

others the beauty of painting and inspire their own creativity."
