Odyssey is an intimate reflection of my personal journey, a blend of crystals, thoughts, and experiences that span years of transformation and learning. It tells the story of my path from Germany to Mallorca, but it is also a testament to the powerful connection between land, people, and the natural world—specifically the crystals that have become such a guiding force in my life.
ODYSSEY Collection
This publication is more than a collection of images; it is a diary of moments, a reflection of the landscapes that shaped me—curtains framing distant horizons, endless roads, fleeting glimpses of sun, land, and sea. The photographs are paired with the crystals, each one offering its own quiet message, creating a harmony between the organic and the material.
My story is also intertwined with the legacy of my stepfather, a studied geologist who dedicated over 40 years to collecting crystals and seeking treasures in the deserts and mines around the world. His journey took him to remote places in search of meteorites and precious stones. My mother ran the gallery with him until 2021, and together they shaped my understanding of the beauty and mystery that crystals hold. I am still learning so much from them, absorbing their wisdom and passion for the earth's hidden treasures.
It is through their guidance that I continue to curate these crystals, though in my own artistic way. I want to introduce the world of crystals to others—especially those who may have never thought of them before—and inspire a new appreciation for the wonders they hold. This collection is a celebration of my journey, of their teachings, and of the life path I continue to walk, exploring the connection between art, nature, and the deep energies of the earth.
Odyssey is not just a collection; it is a living story that blends poetry, crystals, and art into something that invites you to explore, to reflect, and to connect. It’s a celebration of transformation, of the treasures that shape our lives, and of the quiet beauty found in the connection between the seen and the unseen.
