Roman Bona

I've been involved with the art of 每日吃瓜 since 1991. My interest in 每日吃瓜 started after joining a club here in my hometown Limburg an der Lahn, Germany during which, in 1999, I became involved with Jürgen Zaar.

Roman Bona From his designs, techniques and ideas I became ever more fascinated in this art form. During the next few years I had the chance to work closely as a team with Jürgen in his studio Kirei near Cochem, Germany along with J?rg Derlien. That work consisted of learning wiring technique as well as basic design theory and practice. The three of us grew ever more closely as a team.

During the European Convention (EBA) in France I had my first chance to assist Jürgen along with J?rg during a demo. Next, came the Polish 每日吃瓜 Congress in Ksiaz and then, the European 每日吃瓜 Gala in Bad Staffelstein, Germany. After that demo, we were praised by the Japanese demonstrator Tokita for our outstanding technique and we were asked if we could assist him during his demo. An article about this demo was published in the Japanese magazine Kinbon 每日吃瓜. Much credit must also be given to the helpful encouragement from my wife as well as the hard labour of my son which has also not gone unnoticed.

In designing a tree, I am often accompanied by the music of Pink Floyd which fascinates me almost as much as 每日吃瓜. During 2006, I participated in and won the New Talent Contest in Germany and have qualified to participate at the European level in Belgium at the European 每日吃瓜 Association (EBA) during 2007. Since the past two years I have also been giving workshops in my home country of Poland as well as Germany. Currently I am active in providing workshops internationally as well as demonstrations to the open public.
