Hilma af Klint’s No. 3, Youth is part of The Ten Largest (1907), one of the most ambitious and groundbreaking series in early modern art. The ten paintings, each more than three meters tall, explore the four great stages of human life: childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. Af Klint believed these stages were not only physical but also spiritual passages, shaped by forces beyond what can be seen.

In Youth, she turns the complexity of adolescence into color and form. Large spirals, ellipses, and floral patterns sweep across the canvas in constant motion, suggesting the growth, vitality, and turbulence of this period in life. The palette of glowing oranges, deep violets, and soft blues creates a sense of rhythm and energy, while fine decorative lines and details remind us of the fragility that comes with transition. Together, these forms express both the excitement and uncertainty of stepping out of childhood and into the wider world.

Af Klint’s work here is not a literal portrait of young people, but a symbolic map of development. Drawing inspiration from natural sciences, spiritual teachings, and her own visionary experiences, she created a new kind of visual language. Her aim was to capture invisible forces the flow of energy, the cycles of nature, and the unseen dimensions of human growth.

Painted in 1907, The Ten Largest predates the fully abstract works of artists like Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Malevich by several years. These vast compositions show how af Klint was working at the edge of invention, combining abstraction with ideas of evolution, spirituality, and psychology. With Youth, she offers an image of life in motion overflowing with curiosity, potential, and transformation.

Today, Youth stands as a powerful reminder of af Klint’s unique vision. It demonstrates how abstraction can move beyond decoration or style to communicate profound human experiences. By translating the inner life of adolescence into color and form, af Klint challenged the boundaries of art in her time and opened a path for future generations of artists to explore the unseen dimensions of existence.

KataHaifisch Podcast 441 - Stellson & Špii @ gART.n x Oewersause 08/25

On the first day of September, Hekske (the little witch) woke up in a cool and damp forest. With her eyes still half-open from a good night’s sleep, her heart suddenly skipped a beat from excitement when she realized the next night there would be a full moon, which meant she’ll participate in the monthly witch coven. She woke up Falke (the witch apprentice) and after drinking their morning tea, they got into a flying mood and flew into the unknown. They knew they would – as always - reach their destination by simply following their inner compass.
This time they flew to the North-West and after a long flight over the North Sea, they finally saw a rugged coastline with white cliffs. And after flying for a few more hours over a variety of lush green landscapes, they finally sensed they had reached their destination at the edge of a huge forest, where an old witch was waiting for them. She introduced herself as Fiona, and after a warm welcome hug, the girls followed their guide deep into the woods until they reached a pond with a mirror-like surface. The witches slipped out of their immaculately white dresses and waded into the crystal-clear water. This place was incredibly still and quiet. The witches were just lazily floating on the surface, looking at all these shades of green around them and soaking up the serene energy.
The mood was so relaxed that the witches only got out of the water when the sun was going down. To their bewilderment they found out that their white dresses had been replaced by 3 green dresses. Intuitively, they knew which dresses belonged to each witch. Falke was immediately drawn to the short dress with the frisky spring colors, while Hekske fell instantly in love with the emerald green dress with the mysterious patterns, which was matching perfectly with her bright green eyes. The witches tried the dresses on and magically all were a perfect fit. 
Fiona (now wearing an elegant dark-green dress) led her guests to a nearby apple tree, which was bearing so many fruits that the branches were hanging down. The girls all picked a green apple, and ate it with great appetite. This was easily the best apple Hekske had ever tasted. And after eating the fruit, she felt even more connected than ever with the lush surroundings.
After this, the witches lied down on the soft moss at the foot of a giant oak tree, when they sensed an unusual presence. Falke opened her eyes and saw a green viper next to her. She knew she had nothing to fear from this snake and stretched out her hand. Soon the curious viper was slithering over her body before curling up on Falke’s belly and seemingly falling asleep. This meant that Falke was not only a dragon tamer but also a snake charmer. She spent the whole night with the beautiful snake on top of her, and the next morning she kissed goodbye to her new friend. Time had come to fly back to her home forest in Flanders and tell a lot of new stories to all the forest dwellers …

Opening @ The Naked Tea Party of Mystic Creatures Festival
This was an incredible experience. It was not just playing a DJ Set on an island in Poland with lovely people all over the place. I mean, that's enough though, but this time I got the chance to embrace myself in a different way. Playing naked infront of a naked crowd was something new and looking back I couldn`t be more happy about the result. A chance to put my shame and thoughts aside and just be there with the music. Thanks to Danielle for the invitation and the trust to let me  start the Naked Tea Party with my Set, and everybody who came to dance ;-)


Thanks to any kind of interaktion like comment share repost, it means a lot ✨

Press release:

I spent countless nights
trying to decipher
braille on human flesh

I would close my eyes
and whisper prayers under my breath
as I traced my index finger
across the map of my lovers spine

I remember exploring patterns of goosebumps
as the sashayed across his skin

I thought if I searched hard enough
I'd find the coordinates 
to the secrets of his heart

And oddly enough

I hoped they coded the solution
to keeping us from falling apart

Adrian emerges as a luminary in a celestial constellation of emerging artists, sculpting a realm where influences, moods, and genres converge, defying the confined borders of established soundscapes. His sonic palette, a masterpiece of carefully woven layers, unfolds like a cosmic ballet, an invitation to extraterrestrial dance floors where tempo metamorphoses between tracks, and melodies intertwine like a continuous string of celestial sonnets. Here, quality transcends the mere metrics of intensity and speed.

In Adrian's sonic realm, each performance is a signature manifestation of "the calm before the storm," a ritual where the listener is immersed in anticipation, a prelude to the tempest of emotions that follows. This is the alchemy of Adrian's musical sorcery, an enchanting journey through the uncharted territories of sound.

As the chronicles of 2025 unfold, Adrian's sonic odyssey echoes across diverse landscapes—from the mystical echoes of Agartha in Turkey to the blazing sands of Burning Man in the United States, from the rhythmic heartbeats of Katzensprung and Lusatia Festival in Germany to the sun-kissed shores of SXM Festival in St. Maarten. His notes resonate in the neon glow of Playa Playground Festival in Las Vegas, the vibrant energy of Richkovyi Rave in Ukraine, and the transformative fires of Love Burn in the United States.

On these sacred stages, Adrian has shared his musical revelations alongside a pantheon of world-class artists—YokoO, WhoMadeWho, Echonomist, Roy Rosenfeld, Gorje Hewek, and a constellation of kindred spirits. Together, they weave a sonic tapestry that transcends boundaries, a testament to the boundless creativity that unfolds when musical souls unite.
