      He drinks wine like a European. Probably a few glasses a day and doesn't get drunk because he doesn't consume enough in one sitting to become intoxicated. Wine is actually very good for you in moderation.

    I was fortunate enough to visit the gallery and see his art in person. I've been exposed to art of a high standard through my career and I REALLY loved his pieces, regardless of who painted them. We chatted and he was amiable and shone with a deep sense of knowing. I really recommend visiting if you ever have the chance.

    @facefact3737 4 роки тому +11

    Well.. He seems to be a honest man. He just hates oppression. Although I am Christian, I have a very rebel- like- nature. Still I think Gaalh has not a complete and accurate picture of Christianity. I hate all forms of oppression, the most in religion, but I feel very free in this religion Although when it is true it is no religion but a relation that creates more and more life and respect of life. I also choose to follow but still I am free to choose. True Christianity can not be organised or instituted, it can not be forced or become a culture based phenomena, than it is in its own true form and not the raped form people to often make it, betraying the true roots of it: a trust- based system that can be verified, because it is an Entity that interacts and makes life, joy and freedom flow naturaly. This is a Faith of the heart and spirit. I am also an artiest, Explorer, critical thinker, opposer confronting against every form of unnessery blocking of life in its most original and natural order. It gives the room for me to be, to be free, to grow, to express myself, to examine and enjoy life to the fullest.In this sense I really understand and feel the wat Gaahl and Marlyn Manson do, Although Manson is a satanist. But the diffence is the frame of reference and believes about what is true and important, what to persuit and what to hate, what to let thrive and what to kill.
