My Story

Art: Writing, drawing, dancing, music, and painting.

Throughout my life, I've practiced these disciplines at various levels of commitment. I've lived the good and the bad sides of artistic existence.

The approach I mainly practiced for decades in music learning and dancing was interpreting the works of others. Although I learned a lot and enjoyed many parts of it, there was a point where I felt the need to create something original. This is how this blog started.

At the same time, I realized I was experiencing art in a very unhealthy way, mentally and physically. I reached a point when it was simply unsustainable. Wouldn't it be better if I produced from a healthy state of being?, I wondered.

So, in the last years, I've been on the constant lookout for balance, well-being, and good health to try to answer this question.

While in this process, I'm exploring the idea of creativity in the general sense, from all the angles I can, doing what I've always loved to do: writing and spending time in nature.

I have lots of questions regarding art, creativity, learning, and well-being. I'm eager to explore all these questions through personal experimentation and research. This website is the home for those explorations and discoveries. You'll also find my love for plants and natural surroundings.

If you feel intrigued about it, you are invited to be part of Pitaya Letters, a newsletter where I'm documenting my creative process through monthly emails.

*About the photo: The path goes up! It's a hill. Somehow, it expresses the feeling of going up a steep hill, while feeling like it seems I'm going down. Or vice versa?
