Like every year, the Autumn teaches us an important lesson. It focuses on one of the most crucial things in life: letting go.
Mother nature is a great teacher. We learn from animals preparing to rest for the long winter. The trees let go of their leaves. This teaches us the importance of stopping our hurried pace. It is crucial to rest and think about what is important to take with us.
I reached another important goal: I published my second book!
My writing journey started with my first one. It touched the hearts of thousands of readers. I am full of gratitude to all of you! The life journey of Alex continues in this new book. He encounters new characters and lives deep situations with all of his friends. In my earlier book, I explored the themes of loss and rebirth. Here, I spoke about relations on every level: with friends, sons, environment, nature, and between man and woman. I used the Tantra to explain it. It describes a method of using sex to reach the highest point of the spirit. It also serves as a metaphor for life.
Apart of that joy, I enjoyed another passion of mine: music. I went to the Hang Massive concert in Milan with my son. We had the chance to meet the musicians we love before the show. We also had the opportunity to eat in the same restaurant!
My son and I have been fascinated for years by the sound of the hang, now called the handpan. The show has been incredible: light, atmosphere, volume, and people. All united under the name of the mystery and the frequency of that incredible instrument.
For Christmas I decided to give me… a handpan!
It sound really great and it’s tuned in D minor, Kurd scale.
I bought a course on a platform I consider the greatest for learning. Danny Cudd himself, the founder of Hang Massive, suggested it. I have a past as a musician, but here it’s a whole different story… Having a Master who teaches us all the secrets of the basics is the best way to build up step by step our way to the top 🙂
Jumping back to paintings, I realized the last one for this year. This new one integrates the “North series” I started last Winter. It will find a place with new incoming ones at an exhibition in Spring.
I titled it “Íss Sandr”. In Old Norse, it means “Icy Beach”.

And so… Christmas has arrived and passed and I’m ready to take some holidays!
I hope you all are spending beautiful time with your beloved ones. I sincerely wish you unforgettable moments as you start the new year in the greatest way possible.
Look for my new book here.
See you soon through the plots of the Universe!
Much love,
