Sigurd Saß spent the first two years of his life on the American continent, in faraway Brazil, but his parents soon moved with him to Germany. But this was only the beginning of a turbulent life full of exciting experiences and upheavals. After his Berlin apartment was bombed out, he moved to Hameln in Lower Saxony and later abroad to France and Spain. There he goes up and down - through theft, living in caves, surviving without money, to love, meeting Pablo Picasso and other art legends. But just as in Germany, a colorful trip follows through his involvement in the art scene. For the enthusiasm for painting burns from an early age in Sigurd and shows itself privately and professionally as a faithful companion in his development.
