Artist Otto Czerepak embarks on a journey of healing in the Costa Rican jungle. Accompanied by fellow artist Julian Vadas and under the guidance of local experts, Otto aims to overcome the cancer that conventional medicine has deemed "untreatable". In the spirit of his longtime mantra: "Life is For the Living," Otto is embracing a holistic approach, focusing on not only the physical body, but the mental, spiritual, and energetic bodies as well. The approach includes an emphasis on nutrition (specifically an alkalizing diet), contact with nature and sunshine, and spiritual contemplation. Both Otto and Julian will be creating a painting each day throughout this process, in order to creatively assimilate and examine the many dimensions of this endeavor. This blog is designed for friends and family to keep track of Otto's progress while he is away, as well as to inspire others, of any degree of health.

Our art show opened yesterday at Bulali, in San Jose. Otto sold 2 paintings! The show will be coming to Potsdam next weekend!

Otto and Julian with Dr. Maya at the show. 

Us with Alexa, the owner of Bulali and daughter of Otto's other Doctor in Costa Rica

With Mike and Johanna, our friends who own the resort our house is connected with. 


Today we had our last meeting with Carla, which concluded with a very powerful meditation session that totally absorbed Otto...


On the way home we finally stopped at the ceramic tile store that we drive by everyday, but of course the Tile Co. in Potsdam, NY is way better.
