Shanghai / Cafe

A perfect blend of Aussie cafe style and Shanghai neighborhood culture: great coffee, good crowd and plenty of sunshine if you're lucky:-) The caffeinated vibe there has the speciality ingredients that I missed about independent coffee shops in town. Ben, the owner curate pop-up gallery program in-store where I also had a chance to exhibit my latest personal paintings earlier this year.

Barcelona / Park

Park in the center of Barcelona. Nice space for relaxing. I have good memories of free jazz-concerts in the summer evenings.

San Francisco / Bakery

the best french bakery in town, owned by a very cute french family

London / Shop

I am definitely not precious about the materials I use to make my work, but every so often I find myself in need of something more specialised. L.Cornelissen & Son is a beautiful and well stocked art supply shop with extremely knowledgable staff.

Milan / Restaurant

Taglio is a cafe, restaurant and shop in the Navigli area. Everything you see on display is for sale. Taglio is using fresh and high-quality products for its delicious dishes. When possible, the ingredients are also locally sourced.

London / Restaurant

There are three branches of this South Indian Vegetarian Restaurants across London, two in the West End. They all look pretty unremarkable from the outside, the décor is pretty basic, but don't be fooled - the food is wonderful! It's incredibly cheap and the friendly staff cater for vegans and people with food intolerances really well.

Nagoya / Restaurant

The Takohachi restaurant serves local Nagoya food ‘miso-kushikatsu dinner' (fried pork on skewers with miso souce). Takohachi has been functioning 60 years as a restaurant. Most of its customers are born and raised in this neighbourhood, so you'll see a child, his parents and his grand parents enjoy a meal together. Takohachi is located in front of the Nittai temple where Shaka’s bone is enshrined. Beware, Friday and Saturday nights are closed. 2 mins on foot from Kakuouzan metro station.

Austin / Cafe

A recent addition on the far edge of Austin's over-gentrified East Side, this converted gas station offers tasty small eats and a reasonable drink menu (though a bit light on taps), but anything it lacks in selection it makes up for in good vibes and a nicely mixed clientele. A bit on the pricey side, but they have an exceedingly pleasant outdoor seating area and a 'convenience store' of refrigerated products and odds & ends.

Los Angeles / Studio Spaces

Really fun to walk around the studios

Munich / Club

The Bahnwärter Thiel is an open air techno club and music venue filled with graffiti-ed containers, art installations and even a train coach. Think ‘colorful vibrant DIY apocalyptic steam punk’

Melbourne / Park

Its a very central to the city and its rarely filled with people. Birrarung Marr Park is a great place to hang.

Montevideo / Park

West of the city you can find beautiful gardens and parks in a zone called Prado. All surroundings are green with nature colors and smells. In this area you can find the Botanic, this is a special place to me and my inspirations.

Nuremberg / Artist

Lena Müller is an artist living and working near Nuremberg, where she studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts between 2005 and 2010. The majority of her work reflects her fascination for nature and natural sciences, especially her interest in the field of microcosm and macrocosm: „What I am doing is a kind of a philosophical circling around questions of time, space, origin, human existence, cosmos, composition and mystery. Regarding the form, it is the experimental play with a reduced stylistic idiom, made with different tools, materials and techniques, what is exciting for me. Finally I like to create abstracted worlds which give the viewer, and also myself during the artistic process, the freedom to develop our own thoughts and imaginations and to discover the new.“
