The Philosophy behind When I am creating an artwork, I want to share with you the world as I perceive it. My works are a blend of ethnographic and cultural research. As I travel the world, I see that people have the same problems everywhere. And I believe that education is the best weapon against violence. What is special about my art? I t is the love that I give to my paintings that is opening the cage of personal drama of the soul, it shows the beauty of happiness and it is educating to share positive energy. D.A.Stauer
