I might not play these notes up there anymore, but I was trained classical. And there is beauty in kind of genres. • I was 8 and from one day to another I was asked(told:)) if I wanted to learn how to play the piano. I don’t remember saying yes or having any clue what was happening; until I found myself sitting on the piano chair facing these keys like on the photo. I was playing Russian composers, german deaf artists, fast, slow, out of memory, sheet of paper, FORTE and ppp...p... and along the way I started forming my own musical identity. Developing a style, knowing the rules and breaking them... Oh this will never get old, hitting the keys strong or soft, with attitude or picking notes that make me and others cry.... may this journey continue....🎵.

Home. A safe place. Known and loved. I think we all long to feel home. We all have this sense inside of us if something doesn’t quite feel like home, or we are reminded of home by a certain smell or a certain feeling that arises in us. I took this shot in my living room and the word “Home” came to me. I have had many homes in the traditional sense; a roof over my head. I had one when I was born in Siberia, in a small village in Russia, I had one growing up in Germany, I had m...any different homes I’ve lived in, in America, England and back to America. Having developed a global view of things I have also changed my definition of home. I believe home is not just a place, it’s more than that. Home means being free; Home means being loved and love freely. Home is being deeply known and be yourself without hesitation and pretending. That’s why; I believe - everyone is desperate to feel truly home; and yet you can have a season where you feel displaced and alone and fighting to feel home. And when you have tried everything you go back to where true and real acceptance begins and ends; with Jesus. Maybe you are not “religious” - but it’s an intimate knowing “I am safe”, “I am ok”, “I am known and loved”, “I’ve got you!”, “Stop comparing your home to somebody else’s home, you are home with me.”. Not sure if I am a bit melancholy but yes I also need a home, like you, like you and like you.. #thoughts

Unpacking some songs. This one was me going out to the beach in Brighton, UK 🇬🇧 one night and working through some stuff I have held too tight all the years. Bitterness towards people close to me over the years and I still resonates with me couple of years later... Gotta put some music to it.
I forgive you
I was the one you left in pieces... I was the one that kept the fights Long after they were done I was the one deep in my heart I was the one slow to forget But all this you never knew
I was the one to carry hate I was the one to hold the pain Never really cleaned up, all that dirt But it's time to say
I forgive you. I forgive you No, the past can't be undone One too many Hit-and-Run’n But For future sakes I forgive you I forgive you
I was the one that always waited For you to do Step Number 1 I was the one to cross these oceans I was the one to outrun pain I was the one to never grow up the one inside so small But all if this came to a stop
|: I wrote you letters We had our talks We had our walks Now centuries later The future seems greater:|

It’s been a pretty intense and deep week for me. Emotional on many different levels. Do you know when you can’t quite put it into words but your soul is heavy for humanity? Your heart heavy for people to discover their freedom that they are able to live in? I am a creative person and so that includes the creativity that I see every day - locked up - in people’s hearts. • • Sometimes I can literally see it on their faces or sense the aura around them. They are not free and the...y are not living their life they are supposed to live. • • I meet people at work, they are amazing artists and have waved their hands in disbelief that they can have a different life. I don’t know why, but sometimes I carry that burden for them. It’s not mine to carry but there are weeks where I want to shake people to “wake them up”, inspire people, tell anybody and everybody how special they are and how much they are worth, help them think about their calling and unlock their dreams...• • Maybe you can’t relate to that. That’s ok. I’ve been told I am a bit “special” in that area 😎. But all I know is; we have beautiful souls walking the streets of America, Germany, Europe, England, Russia, France, Iceland and so on, that are dying to have breakthrough in their lives. Breakthrough financially. Breakthrough with addictions. Breakthrough in their bitterness and anger from long time ago that keeps them stuck in life. Breakthrough filling the hole with their true purpose they were destined to breathe. • • It’s Sunday night, my heart is full and looking foreword to a brand new day tomorrow! • • Love is chasing you - You can’t outrun it

33 YEARS! • • • • • • • • . . . ago, i was born as the first son into a German family in Russia 🇷🇺(they had to wrap me in extra blankets because Siberia was not Los Angeles). About 17 years ago I graduated Highschool (🇩🇪) and had not the smallest idea where my path in life would take me. About 15 years ago I introduced myself to the roads as a new driver. Eventually the Autobahn heard from me as well. A year before that I made a public declaration that I love this person nam...ed Jesus and have never been the same every since #identity ; about 11 year ago I had this insane idea to leave my continent and try another one on the other side of the globe. 🇺🇸(I guess it wasn’t enough confusing to be a “Russian-German” in Germany 🇩🇪) Being a missionary was the best thing that ever happened to me. • About 4,5 years ago I broke free from lies inside my soul that told me “I am not an artist” and for the very first time I whispered (sitting in my Nashville apartment (oh yeah I moved again!): “I am an artist. I am a musician. I have an artisan soul” - the journey began.... • 3 years ago I felt lead to go and live in the great place called England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 or 🇬🇧. My calling was once again confirmed - this time it took a viral video that went around the globe 🌍 with me playing at a train station in Brighton. • Almost two years later I am hearing this small voice again, more like a sense and a deep “get-ready-to-jump” - feeling that gets louder and louder. • 33 YEARS later - the journey goes on 33 YEARS later - *this belly gotta go..* 33 YEARS later - I am writing my story 33 YEARS later - I am more brave 33 YEARS later - I feel like life is just starting 33 YEARS later - I feel like 23 33 YEARS later - I am more thankful than ever to have opened the *can of worms* and worked on myself ever since 33 YEARS later - I don’t only want to be inspired but be an inspiration 33 YEARS later - I understand Grace more 33 YEARS later - I still make mistakes and still believe some lies but I see the dust for what it is more quickly.... • 33 YEARS LATER - I have value. 33 YEARS LATER - Love has a name. • 33 YEARS LATER - Creatively 33 YEARS FORWARD. NEVER STOPPING! Vik @ Inspire the World

As the snow continues to fall outside, I am in my warm apartment working on my photos, this beauty came across • I love how I like to show contrast. I have never been the biggest photographer of people. I like to place people where they melt into one with the current surrounding,nature or city. I like when they become part of the bigger picture instead of THE focus. • We were on the way to Santa Barbara and stopped at places that were perfect for photos. Sunset was setting i...n and it was a perfect moment. . . . #malibu @the.malibu.life #california @california #blue #beach #lushgreen #roadtrip #green #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #sunset #stil #westcoast #usaroadtrip #highway1 @wastedhighway @highway1discoveryroute #west #explorertheworld
