Creation-Art – Creating

Sculptures and Photography are my favourite creative hobbies balancing intellectual and management work, mainly done in the peaceful environment of the holiday home in France (Burgundy) in an old mill. “Creation-Art” as title summarizes the intention: Being just an instrument of the Creator to express the abundant beauty, playful diversity and simple joy of the creation. A few examples of my works:


CreationArt

From 18-22 Oct 2021, you could see my exhibition “CreationArt” in the entry hall of the Ecumenical Center (see email below). I herewith offer you a short video (7’) on some of my artworks – as an Advent meditation. The video is the collaborative result of two students, Tabarak Abbas and Victor Clément, of the Art School “HEAD Geneva” (Haute école d’art et de design).


Window

A brochure on the Wuhan Window can be downloaded for free here

Window, 155x310cm, made of over 800 precious stones (agate) with lead, as the medieval church windows. Four elements soil, water, fire and air and in the white middle circle crystal agates, symbolizing the Cross and God’s Spirit. The “DNA of life” flows like a file of crystal larger agates from heaven to earth and from earth to heaven.

The window is donated to the new Church of the new Theological Seminary in Wuhan/China and was installed in 2020. The window is completed by a frame with the same precious stones made by artist Prof. Cui Wantian, my friend.

Aphorisms

Gratitude

Gratitude is
the foundation of ethics.
Leads to awe
Protects from avarice
Opens the heart to share
Fosters modesty
Reduces anxiety
Discovers uncomplicated solutions
Joie de vivre
Prolongs life
(as researchers have shown).
It is at the centre of the faith
that everything is
a gift – from the Giver of Life.

Political ethics

The most important aspect of political ethics:
God is not human.
Therefore
no human being is God.
Therefore
absolutism, dictatorship and theocracy
are blasphemy.
They give one human being absolute power.
Therefore
Separation of powers, limitation of power,
accountability and responsibility
are pillars of good governance
and political ethics.
