"watching the wheels go round and round"

Donald Jacob's work is characterized by diversity, he does not fit into any category. He works as a visual artist, architect, landscape architect and author.

with over 30 years of experience in the field. "I have a passion for creating beautiful and sustainable outdoor spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and ecologically sound. As an artist, I use my freedom and take an avant-garde position. I do this, for example, with the writing and founding of a constitution for the earth, for which I wrote a book in 2021 and am currently organizing an alternative COP. I see art here also as a mediator of possibilities directed into the future. I also want to sensitize people to the topic of biosphere by means of my art. My motivation to engage in ecology comes from my passion for the natural world and my desire to help protect it. I believe that our actions have a direct impact on the environment, and I want to do my part to ensure that the planet remains healthy and thriving. I also find ecology to be an interesting and challenging field, and I am excited to learn more about how our environment works and how we can protect it. My experience includes designing, constructing, and managing projects ranging from small to large, that is shown by my diversity of my artistic approach.

Interior and exterior design, installations as a photographer or in drawing, painting, sculpture and performance. The complexity of his creativity is impressive. His archive of over 150,000 photographs is tracking and constantly expanding. Jacob has exhibited internationally, with solo shows in Europe and Asia.

"I am fascinated by the human essence, our condition, our fragility the constant change," he says. "I am interested in realities that we all face sooner or later"

But Donald Jacob is also a connoisseur, a quiet observer, and at the same time he deals critically with socio-political issues (www.erde.com). And again and again nature. For many years he worked as a gardener, feels connected with nature. As a person living in the city, he is always drawn to nature and travel, as a source of inspiration. As a landscape architect and ecologist, he pioneered sustainability in urban planning and architecture before it became salon-worthy. "We are all a part of nature and thus also have a responsibility for the whole community of life on earth"

"Personality is shaped by life experiences and has a transformative effect in art."  "Art can exert a transformative power in human beings, just as a garden allows us to experience a piece of paradise."
