Moroccan Interior and an Indian Paravent?

I love to play with images and ideas. So what do you think of this combination? Yes - it's opulent but what else would you expect in a luxury home, an old Moroccan palazzo with exquisite interior? An intimate chamber not for the visitor to be seen but only for the home owner to enjoy. And behind that paravent? Secrets - only secrets... and stories from Arabian nights...

Ancient Cultures in a modern Living Room...

Silk paintings about ancient cultures fit very well into a modern interieur. When we think of even much older art such as the cave paintings which have been found in Australia we realize that their forms seem to be timeless.

In the Sunroom - a handcarved Triptych

This is one of my most beautiful wood carving pieces: Krishna and Radha, an Indian inspired triptych. I placed it in several environments - just in order to test how it would look like. Now judge for yourself....

An opulent silk Art Quilt in a Designer's Living Room

There are a lot of people who do prefer the minimalist interior of their home. Whether it's an overall aversion against all kinds of ornamentation, a longing for being trendy (whatever that might mean) or simply someone with a love for straight "things" without any curlicues - there is a demand out there for the pure. The problem is that these kinds of rooms often appear cold, repellent and even hostile. The solution for this is to offer at least one counterpiece.
What I mean with this, is this example. A room furnished with only the basics and then a piece of art on the wall that seems to be quite the contrary: opulent and decorative. But in this context it does not change the demand for a reduced interieur at all but it offers a place for the eyes to rest on and feel comfortable.

Silk Paintings in an old Moroccan City Villa...

You know my faible for Moroccan interior. It's the earth colours that make me feel so very well and I think many other people feel the same. So I played again and mounted my silk paintings into this lovely interior...
