The world of BELMOND and the art of SUSANNE HERBOLD were a perfect match at last night's “Dolce Vita & Art” community table for members of the exclusive private wine club wineBANK Cologne! Over 70 members celebrated this special evening by immersing themselves in the world of luxury trains and unique destinations while enjoying great food and fantastic wines and having a completely new gallery experience.

For five days, Berlin Art Week presented a diverse festival program of contemporary art with major players from the Berlin art scene. The Cologne-based artist collective “cARTelle” was also represented with their works.

Last Friday an extraordinary art and lifestyle event took place. Approx, 100 invited guests were invited to the newly built "Villa Mimosa" of the German construction company Dressler & Partner for the vernissage of my current works. The works were exhibited throughout the villa, which invited not only by its architecture and furnishings, but also by a breathtaking view of the Tramuntana mountains and the port of Port d' Andratx.

Together with 50 invited guests, the exhibition “Independence” by Cologne artist Susanne Herbold was not only opened on Friday evening, but the new premises of the Pop-Up Gallery in Cologne's Pfeilstrasse were also presented.

My new series is called "Leaving Standards" because I see this as the key to achieving the next level. Be it on a personal or professional basis and regardless of which sector we belong to or in which position we work in. Whether entrepreneur, scientist, athlete or artist - probably in a few years, looking back on this time, we will realize that everyone should thoroughly review their system/context in which they live every now and then.
