Gerardus Baron von Sachsen
My Background
Celebrant, singer, musician, digital artist and poet. Born as Gerardus Wilhelmus Theodorus Cornielje on the 12th of June 1962 in 's-Heerenberg in The Netherlands.
My literary roots
I published my first book of poetry at the age of 16. Since then I have published 8 books in total and I am still writing every day!
In 2011 I was honoured with the 'Zilveren Brandnetel' a Dutch literature prize I received for my poem
I write my poetry in 3 languages: Dutch, English and German.
Alongside my poetry I create digital Illustrations. I use Rebelle 7 Pro - Dall-E 3 and some Flux models for these images.
I have just finished a large book of poetry with the title "Love, Lust & Despair- 100 Erotic Poems" - surrealistic poetry with strong erotic and metaphysical imagery.
The book appeared June 2025 at Amazon as a paperback as well as a hard cover book.
The books, Duende, The Clock is a Butcher and many other books are now available on my Amazon Authorspage.
For my German readers:
Mitte Juli 2024 erschien mein neues Buch Rosen, Rum und Flaschenpost im Weltbuchverlag mit Hauptsitz Sarganz (CH).
Ende November erscheint mein nächstes Buch in der deutschen Sprache: "50 Grimmige Märchen, Nix für Weicheier" Das Buch erscheint im Litego Verlag.
Mehr dazu bald.
My Style
My style is influenced by surrealism and expressionism. Artists that influence me are Gustave Doré, Salvador Dali, Hieronymus Bosch, M.C. Escher, H.R. Giger and Gustav Klimt. Quite a mix indeed!
