God

Who are your favorite artists?

The scientist Frank Wilczek says in his book ‘A Beautiful Question’ that he believes God to be the ultimate creative artist. That the Earth is an artistic experiment where the boundaries were pushed to the limits. I agree that it is a work of art and a scientific marvel, only compromised by us.

When you travel through this world there is something different around every corner. The sky changes endlessly and never ceases to surprise. So many places and trees grow that it seems impossible to know all of them, and even a short flight will reveal miracles.

The Hopi and Navajo people see Sedona in Arizona as a living Cathedral. Nature as our church. It’s a deeply moving thought.

The more humble artist

I like Monet for his colours. Van Gogh for his bright blues and yellows.

I love Johann Strauss, Mozart, a group from the 90s called Zazen who are not well known but put together the most amazing, lyrical sounds.

I love dancers, singers, and writers. All the people who take the world and present it in a different way. Creating rivers in music, sunsets in paint, and bringing places I may never visit into the pages of a book.

I love photography, I’ve caught some really amazing shots over the years, but I find it sad now that the camera can be made to lie. A photographer catches a moment and preserves it through time. It doesn’t need enhancement.

All art is beautiful, but God/nature has us beat. If only we respected it more.
