Story behind:
Strange customs, different cultures, thousand fragrances and thousand spices, glitter and glory, romance and drama. Everybody who has ever been to India knows life is a big drama! A rock in the midst of the turmoil is the elephant – In Hinduism the tutelary god of travellers. The elephant is the god who moves obstacles out of your way. I keep thinking about our big journey through life... In Buddhism elephants are sacred and represent kings.
I love India. For that reason I especially loved to work on the elephant´s design “India”. And to my wife Katrin, who loves elephants more than any other animal, I dedicate this powerful animal.
The Indian elephant for me is a symbol for happiness and a big good friend with divine inspiration.
