Shankar Tim Straub

Free Artist and Healer

 

born in Bamberg, Germany

living in Goa, Ibiza and Greece

majoring in Art in high school in Germany (Abitur)

 

started traveling 1985, being unsatisfied with the academic system in Germany.

Came very fast into buddhism and meditation in 86, sitting vipassana in Thailand and Zazen in Korea.

Further traveling brought him 1987 overland to Kenya in Africa, where he collaborated with the Scottish Artist Geordie Mac Donald Haig in Nairobi

 

But wanted to pursue the art career to New York and went there with another 3 month silent retreat ( Kyol Che) stopover in the Su Deok Sah Monastery in Korea. Arrived in New York in 1988 and started to work as an art assistant in PS1 and then for the Romanian Artist Mihai Popa.

 

After some time and difficulties in New York, life took him in other directions, more performing arts, but still meditation and healing: Tantra with Margo Anand was a start into a long journey into working with energy and the chakras, which became the main work after some time.

 

In the last 10 years painting slowly came back, integration  the background, the experience, the personal growth of self development.

 

 

Since a few years now the artistic expression reached a fully professional level and was exhibited.
