I am a multilingual translator and cultural anthropologist, working with contemporary art in a broad scope. I work with written translations, i.e. exhibition catalogues, brochures or film scripts, and as a consecutive translator at art festivals and conferences.
Moreover, my ease to rhyme makes me a good copywriter, working with advertising slogans and copies for brands as big as Nikon, TK Maxx or Orange.
Apart from above mentioned activities I write short forms for myself such as songs and poems, which is the source of great satisfaction for me. Writing songs is my youngest baby and I treat it seriously, dedicating a big chunk of my days to perfect the process. I mostly write in English and “dry”, meaning without music but I was inspired by pieces of music in the past.
I speak four foreign languages which makes me a bit of a spirituals nomad. I enjoy travelling both in mind and in physical sense so you can meet me somewhere in Europe, be it Mittel Europa, the Balkans or the Great Western Civilization. However, I always check my email so go ahead and get in touch if you want me to write a song or translate something for you.
There are many artists that I like: Jim Morrison, John Lennon and Erykah Badu to name a few. I consider the best female album to be the first album of Moloko on a par with “Vespertine” by Bjork and “Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse. The best band ever for me is “Morphine” for their husky, sexy sound and “Radiohead” for everything.
There are many more singers and bands that I love but I don’t want to bore you with my fascinations. To sum up I like rock, intelligent electronics, intelligent pop and intelligent hard-rock. You go figure what I mean by “intelligent” while I go offline to write some more pretty songs...
