Augmented reality is an interactive experience that enhances the real world with computer-generated perceptual information.
Augmented reality technology now makes it possible to integrate art into the physical world in a new and exciting way.
I am happy to have discovered the Digital Bohemians Club who are doing amazing work in this field. Vanessa and Maks are showcasing artists from all over the world in an innovative way.
In their words:
“Immerse yourself in a world where art is not only observed but also experienced. Our events offer pedestrians, tourists, and art enthusiasts the unique opportunity to discover artworks from around the world on a specific theme. Through Augmented Reality, you can not only admire the art but also link and publicly share it with others, fostering a vibrant community that experiences art in ways that go beyond traditional boundaries.”
My friends in Munich, Germany, were kind enough to visit the latest AR exhibition and send me so many photos of my artworks “Color Healing” and “Heightened Awareness” in front of the Opera House on Gärtnerplatz.
I have already participated in two of the Digital Bohemians Club exhibitions in Germany and look forward to further collaborations in Greece and Japan.

Populys is not merely another environment in the metaverse. It is a functioning city, filled with content and with a very active community. Upon visiting, one can discover the city and its inhabitants.
There are a wide range of activities to choose from in Populys. Listening to good music by attending a concert, visiting a disco or a cinema, going to the events arena, observing a news set in action or watching podcasts being recorded, are only a few of the possibilities on offer.
There is also an art gallery with changing exhibitions, and I happy to share that I have been invited to have a solo exhibition in this gallery starting 10 April 2023. The exhibition will run for one month.
The exhibition is titled “Pathways”.
Having traveled along the paths of mindfulness, the corridors of cyberspace and the hallways of augmented reality, I have recently entered the virtual spaces of the metaverse. The exhibition brings to light my continuous research and expression of new possibilities.
Populys can be found in Spatial and can be accessed via PC, phone or a Virtual Reality headset. Spatial is free and Populys can be entered via this link.
Upon entering, exit the reception room, follow the path up the steps and past the water. Coming down the steps at the other end, turn left to find the art gallery.
Hope to see you there!

In February 2017 I was very fortunate to collaborate with and be interviewed by André Meyerhans of Mario Uboldi Jewellery Art.
André, an architect and a jewelry designer, believes that "Creativity is seeing ordinary things differently."
André photographed some of his jewelry on my artworks.
To see more of the results and to read his interview with me, please follow this link.
