The deserts are his studio

It's the rough and delicate textures of the parched, cracked earth, the shattered scree, the wind-sculpted sand dunes that draw me to the world's deserts. I travel to these landscapes by jeep, camel, and on foot to find the ideal place to paint:

In the middle of the Sahara, whether in Libya, Egypt, Mali, Tunisia, or Morocco; in the Indian Thar Desert; on Mount Moses in the Sinai Desert; in the scree of extinct volcanoes; and in dried-up, dusty rivers. I mix the materials I find there, such as salt, sand, earth, and pigment dust, with color pigments and binding agents, and apply them to the canvas with trowel and brush. In my work, I seek the hidden, trying to uncover the truth behind the truth. The inherent principle of all things, that which is inherent in everything, that which moves everything. The invisible without form, which reveals itself briefly in patterns and structures, as in the blown sand dunes of the Sahara.

For my travels in the deserts of the world, I was looking for a backpack, duffel bag, and bags that could withstand sand and snow storms, as well as temperature fluctuations from -10 to +50°C. Drakensberg bags meet these requirements because of their durable materials and high-quality workmanship. I travel with the "Henry" backpack , the "Robin" duffel bag , and the "Steve" travel bag . The closures and inner pockets of each individual piece are well thought out and still work perfectly even after years. What also appeals to me is their style. On the one hand, their look promises that they will withstand extreme adventures, which they undoubtedly do, and on the other hand, I like walking around cities with them because they look great and are practical. I like adventures with style. I've just returned from the Sahara, shaken the sand out of my bags, and am already repacking for my expedition to the Namib and the Kalahari. I am sure that my Dakensberg bags will once again be first-class travel companions.
