Meeting two great german-brazilian artists and recipe for salmon tatar with wasabi yogurt

9 Feb

The last two evenings we had the privilege to spend wonderful time over dinner with two  artists that have made Rio their home a long time ago. Dirceu makes individually crafted jewelry and all his pieces are one-of-a-kind gems. He has shown his pieces in numerous exhibitions in Germany, Switzerland and Brazil.

Besides the jewelry, he as well is a great painter and his latest passion is creating wonderful kinetic objects or mobiles. Please check his website http://www.dirceukrepel.com  or his facebook page Dirceu Krepel to see all his pieces of art.

His wife Marianne is a sculptor and creates beautiful art pieces in clay and bronze as well as exquisite plates and bowls. Apart from that she is a great cook and wonderful hostess. You can find her on facebook as well under Marianne Krepel.
