IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU STILL DREAM TO DESIGN? I wake up every morning with a desire to create. When I see some of what’s created today in Dubai and Uzbekistan and some other places I want to explore how I can create something like this with architecture. And I feel more than ever the potential to achieve architectural feats that European techniques and urban planning have previously forbidden me with a freedom of expression that was impossible before. Right now we are sitting and watching Bingin Beach in Bali from one of my creations. This house that we are currently sitting in is my idea of a “world in a village”- a village that encompasses the experiences of multiple countries and places. I like to travel and I’m feeling so good in Bali. I’m also enjoying building my version of the “world in a village”. This way I can travel to my village where the climate is always at its best. So I have recreated my own vision of the world in this place. It’s a villa with rooms and artefacts that allow you to experience 20 countries as of today. There's Mykonos down there, there’s St Tropez, there’s Nice, Capri, Venice. I aim to grow this to have the experience of 60 countries some day. Bali is beautiful and I love the fact that I am able to get this experience here in Bali to visit 60 countries without having to leave my home. I’ve created this world around me in Bali that I will continue to build and expand. I will also exhibit my latest collection soon in Dubai I think. It’s called the ‘lovestone’. And I have this idea of creating a light based projection of Victor Vasarely's work. I hope I am able to do that someday. © FourPlus Media parfumplusmag.com “As an artist one tries one’s best to do what the five primary senses allow you to feel and express.” P A R F U M P L U S 9
