Prior to the emergence of my current style in 1990 which I describe as "SURREAL-EXPRESSIVE", I had a very realistic style and would draw animals and people.
I started experimenting with universal symbols and using art to express emotions in the summer of 1990. I realized that I could use my art to heal myself in a way that "talk therapy" could not. I became immersed in the creative process as memories surfaced and conflicts emerged in my art.
I noticed that I was in fact an "ARTIST", but was more involved in the healing process that was taking place. As a result of my personal journey, I now strongly believe in the HEALING POWER of ART. I also believe that I was meant to be an artist and that I need to create in order to be happy. I have been prolific since 1990, and find that since I have worked through a lot of my personal pain, I am now able to create new worlds and have fun with my art.
My mission now is to share my art with others in hope that it will inspire them to "get their ART out".
One day I hope to start a free "after school" ART SCHOOL for youth where they can be mentored by inpiring creative artists. I also like working with frustrated artists and teens individually. Currently I am looking for opportunities to inspire others thru my creativity. I am living in Austin, TX for the third time and loving it! Hopefully I will break into the local gallery scene soon...
I am a "self-taught" driven obsessed ARTIST with a different perspective about most things. A funny thing about me is that many people think I am drunk or on drugs when I am NOT... especially after seeing my SURREAL ART.

Another year has magically went by and several things have come and gone. Friendships have grown and some of faded over our many journeys this year. 1/5 of my friends have taken the time this year to reach out and say hello. Actually less than 1/5 but close enough for point taken. Out of our life if 1/5 of the people we meet become friends how many friends would we have over the years. Thank you for being part of 1/5 my friend. May your holidays be great and 2009 treat you well in the year to come. Be selfish this year and take the time to be around people that you enjoy and that are good for you. Stand up and take a stand when you feel the need to and make decisions even if they may not be the right. This year take time to develop yourself and don't spend so much time wondering what other people are doing. Allow them to be who they are and enjoy the fact that you don't have to live their life just live your own. Love more people so you are not so consumed with a few people. Love is meant to be shared and not withheld from people.
Eliminate all BUTs from your life. Think about what the effect of BUT is in your communication to yourself and others. When we talk to ourselves we often use BUT to distort our reality in a way that leads us to go down familiar negative paths. We tell ourself a postive and then use BUT to take it away a lot of times. We tell someone that we love them and then we spoil it by saying BUT this is happening which our special person interprets as we don't really love them. I am successful BUT I am not as motivated as I want to be. Does this take away from the pleasure of being successful or does it take away the success altogether.
Use the word AND instead; you will find that you are more at peace with yourself, and your friends and family appreciate the positive talk. You will even find it easier to get rid of that other BUTT when you stop using BUT altogether.
Thank you for the beautiful experiences on your page! It gives inspiration! You really have seized the moment! Take care Kiss Göran
... THE LIGHTHOUSE By Göran S.J. von Falkenberg
Tired of explanations All kind of them I have taken place in a tower Made by naked thoughts Where I live ..and create my poems Like sea birds flying close to the surface of the sea To create shadows with their wings so they can examine if it is something under the surface to eat ….and so I touch the paper … That’s my engagement I use my thoughts as wings and very easy I touch the paper Creating shadows Because; I don’t want to write letters I want to show what is behind the letters and - With my deepest feelings I only wish to touch your soul Like the sun Give a quickly reflex on the surface of sea waves
During the nights My tower becomes a pale shine. like tangents of a very old piano in the light of a streetlamp I have been ONE with my tower Use me if your want As lighthouse Without any explanation
You hold your answers. So many times people look for answers to who they are or what they want by searching outside. It is as if someone else knows them better than they do. Think about who you talk to the most. If you said someone else you might want to reconsider that answer. Through the years I have found that the person we talk to the most is ourselves. We are continually talking to ourselves to discuss feelings, decisions, and to change the meaning of what we are experiencing at the time. This process of inner talk is one of the key secrets to how we create our reality.
You already know the answer to your questions most of the time. The challenge is actually accepting it for what it is. In your perfect world how would you like to be this week, next week and the weeks to come? You are in charge of who you are today and the next so have some fun with it my friend.
What are You when you think about it? Is that all you are or are you more my friend? Make a list of what you are and take your time creating it. Then go back and ask yourself tomorrow is this still everything you are or are you more today.
The person that limits who you are the most is you. I have found that people are more than what they give themself credit for being. We accept the idea that this is who we are and start making excuses that allow us to stay in one place.
Today you are perfect and you represent who you are in all honesty and perfection. Embrace who you are and be proud of it and also realize that you will be much more as well. You are not the same person that you were 5 years ago. Tomorrow, you can be more than what you ever imagined if you allow yourself to be. The question is will you accept the learnings and use them to grow or are you comfortable being who you think you are today?
Either way it is fine, because in the end you are the one that determines who and what you are. It is always in your control, even when you pretend that someone else made you do something. You still choose to have them be the excuse. I wonder what you will learn this week to allow you to become that person tomorrow. Maybe you already have learned it and started to change. Only you will know in the end when it is right for you.
Have a fantastic week and thanks for being my friend. You help me to stay on track and I appreciate your friendship.
