My first exhibition was part of the 23rd Art Mile in Cologne. A really cool experience.

We started planning a month in advance. When it came to hanging the artworks, it quickly became clear that placement could only be roughly planned. We kept rearranging them until we were happy with the final setup.

Together with my chatbot, I created the Visual Room. I wanted my vernissage to be different from the usual. I'm personally not a fan of long speeches, and I wanted the visitors to truly connect with the art...to feel the energy of the colors and, in a way, become part of the artwork themselves. That’s why I designed the Visual Room.

During the vernissage, we played my own music in the background...songs where I sing about how each piece came to life, about the artistic process behind it. Yes, it was different from what most people are used to...but we received amazing feedback throughout!

In the second week, we had a live painting event planned in the store. I still had to get a few supplies for that. Shopping in an art store can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack...but in the end, I found everything I needed and was ready to go.

All in all, I’m really grateful, I got to be a part of that art mile.
