Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, I spent 10 years in my twenties as a monk in a yoga ashram and monastery. In 2017 I became interested in cryptocurrency and am now a self-taught writer, amateur artist and blogger on the subjects of Vedanta, consciousness, philosophy, as well as cryptocurrency, blockchain and macroeconomics. My aim as an artist is to bridge the gap between the ancient Western and Eastern Mystery Traditions, combining the Perennial Philosophy with the modern discoveries in the science of consciousness. I aim to reflect this in my art and writing.
