Inspiring trips by Udo to many countries around the Globe stimulate his creativity. Most of all, he sees Canadian nature as a beautiful source for a multitude of artistic impressions.

 

Great  artistic  influence,  he gathered from two very talented artists , personal friends :Ernest Heidersdorf   1901  - 1994 , a well known Canadian artist of Montreal , who painted famous paintings , among others, the Royal Centennial Rose for the Queen at Buckingham Palace.His wild flower paintings are unmatched in Udo`s opinion.

Another very talented friend stimulates Udo : James Simon Mishibinijima of Wikwemikong, Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada . The photograph shows both in Udo`s home in Europe.
