What happens if you go through life with your eyes open? Would you suddenly see how special the ordinary actually is? Perhaps then you would discover that behind every moment lies a story.

In De Levenskunstenaar, the beauty of the everyday is captured with a sharp pen and an open mind. A collection of unique stories about encounters that seem coincidental but prove to be meaningful.

Sometimes lighthearted and humorous, sometimes vulnerable and moving, but always honest. A collection of stories that celebrates the art of living — whimsical, relatable, and full of wonder.

With a foreword by artist Fred Rosenhart
