I am here for Friends

About Me

Artist. Writer/ Poet. Dancer. Singer. Philosofer. Poliglot (I know/speak 6 languages: Polish, Dutch, English, French, German, Latin and a little bit of ancient Greek). And some more. Nothing special, it's all just for myself- locked in my own private world, mostly unseen by the public. Constantly trying out more and more. Expect the unexpected... I'm also an art (paintings)conservation/restauration student in the heart of the old city of Antwerp. I'm obsessed with beauty in every possible form. I will cherish and preserve it at every cost- hence the reason why I do these studies :). I'm very romantic person in general :). My main goal in life is shortly: enlighten. That means not only my environment but also myself. I love to meet new poeple that can learn me something and the other way around. I crave for wisdom and the ultimate (practicaly impractible) truth not knowledge or information, that can only be learned from life itself. Creativity means everything to me. I try to be creative in every smallest aspect of my daily life (if possible). When I create art I'm rarely to almost never satisfied with the result. I will only make art or write when I'm rediculously highly inspired and can't take the pressure anymore. For the rest I'm a very normal and friendly person, so feel free to talk to me :)..
