New creative talents in a corporate environment - hiring an artist in a different department than marketing or branding can cause exciting diversity within the team.

This art blog is an experiment of the personally modified text created by Chat GPT/OpenAI (11.06.2023). As I am not an English native speaker, ChatGTP helped me tremendously to organize my ideas and write sophisticated text. I deleted about 30% of the original text as it was unnecessary. I adjusted about 30% to make reading simpler and added my ideas. And 40% is pure text from ChatGPT. It’s essential for me to communicate these things with you so we don’t abuse AI, our intelligence and our values. Enjoy the reading!    Finding balance and developing our passions often takes a backseat in our fast-paced, technology-driven world. However, cultivating a hobby is more than just fun—it is an entrance to self-expression, personal growth,...

Were you ever a victim of a scam or fraud? In 2021, I went public with my art through my website, which is also my online store, and three social media channels – Instagram, Pinterest, and recently YouTube.

This book should be a business bible of sustainability and exemplary leadership, but a few weeks ago, I didn’t even know that a book like this existed. There is something wrong here. Each small decision, like not buying clothes and furniture but instead repairing and reusing, bringing your folding bag into a grocery store, or washing clothes only when they’re really filthy very much impacts the environment. We still don't get it –  the amount each of us can change. I am trying to get it...

What beginner artists should know "It does not make sense to start a career nowadays as an artist or with social media as competition is enormous," I hear pretty often. Well, then I have to tell you a secret – in the world live 8 billion people! Some of them probably already started an art career and are chasing their dreams about self-fulfilment, work flexibility and wealth. On the other hand, there is another secret truth: in the world live 8 billion people, which means some of them can still be your fans and customers. Get rid of the narrow-minded possibility of the limitation of fans. Stop thinking that when people already like some artists, they are already taken and cannot like you. Of...
