Atelier

Harkrader and El spend a week in 2007 with Italian artist Annina di Oronzo's atelier on via del beato angelico in the historic center of Rome. A meeting site of eclectic minds...and Annina's home, studiovo atelier provides workshop, studio and accommodation for traveling artists. A visual and performance installation artist, Annina's work takes her from Rome to Berlin and elsewhere. Harkrader's guitar and backpack are foreground-left.

Endorphins, Euphoria & Eye Candy: A Quest for Beauty

Harkrader arranged this composition in the northwestern fishing village of Vernazza, Italy (2007). The inexpensive guitar and wine from Rome provide high value for releasing the pleasure seeking endorphins, especially when placed in proximity of the Mediterranean Sea and the lovely seaside bedroom provided by Lillie. This quest for euphoria continue to provide inspiration for many of Harkrader's canvases as he and Ellen's 'lust for life' beckon.
