    Changeable days

    The mixed weather continues and my days remain varied. I have also confirmed the solution to my mountain puzzle.

    A life full of diversity

    Varied days bring momentum to life and my favorite weeks are the ones where there is a bit of everything.

    Creative abundance

    Another busy working week is over. Another week with countless tasks that were all ticked off at the end. Another week of rain, another week of spring.

    Completed activities and little lives

    Successfully completed tasks, good times with friends and memories of the past have brightened up another chilly and gray week.

    Ausstellung «Sichtweisen»

    Stillleben, Landschaften, Motive aus Flora und Fauna laden dazu ein, sich unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen zu öffnen und toleranter damit umzugehen.

    April Showers

    It only took one day for the summery temperatures of the weekend to be replaced by cool and rainy April weather, which has dominated the whole week and my mood.

    A kind of copy & paste

    Somehow this week was quite similar to the previous one. After a few days full of work, a great hike was on the agenda at the weekend.

    Cheers to everyday life

    Of some weeks, only a single highlight sticks in the memory because the rest of the time was spent doing business as usual. This everyday life that we always perceive as insignificant and yet takes up so much of our lives.

    From nothing nothing comes

    March is coming to an end with another intensive week of work and with it the end of the first quarter of 2024. I had some thoughts about dream related work.

    Meeting Horst

    Another week filled with lots of work, blossoms of spring and blossoms of new artworks. And a special encounter during a run.

    Great little things

    After another quite packed week, I am having some thoughts about the little things in life that give rise to great results and that are worth being recognized as precious as the results themselves.

    Swapping the rivers

    Airplanes fly fast and transport people from A to B in the shortest possible time. Emotions, on the other hand, are sometimes slower.

    About colors and feelings

    The ninth week was a rollercoaster of emotions and weather. Melancholy and anticipation, cold rain and warm spring days.

  • Matthias Maier | Stories | Week 08 2024 | View on the skyline of Chicago

    A visit to the Windy City

    It’s interesting how different the individual weeks can be. After the last two were rather monotonous, this week was packed with variety and new things.

  • Matthias Maier | Stories | Week 07 2024 | Snow fall in Amsterdam Avenue

    Endless winter

    Winter has pulled out all the stops again this week. A potpourri of gray, silent days, snow flurries and deep blue, but very cold and windy moments.

    Between laziness and productivity

    I sometimes have phases in which I admit that I tend to be lazy. This week was somewhat characterized by this, but in the end it was a productive and fulfilling one.

    The return of the sun

    After what felt like an eternity, sunny days returned at the end of the week, creating a spring-like mood and a nice end to a fairly productive week.

    Average days

    Even if you are surrounded by countless offers, there is also something like an everyday life in New York and days that just come and go.

  • Matthias Maier | Stories | Week 03 2024 | Snow in Central Park

    Winter reloaded

    New York welcomed me in the same way that Basel bid me farewell: white and bitterly cold. But the week was affected by jet lag anyway and I took it easy.

    A white winter week

    Winter has finally shown its best side, with cold, frost and snow. The first, and probably last winter week in Basel this season for me.
