Artist Statement

One of the most important things in my life is to express myself ... it's a circle of

experiencing - to be present, sense and then give it back to the universe again in the

form of an expression ...

That's why I call myself an expressionist - in that it is my perception of the world.

For me, it is the colors that first and foremost control the process.

Colors are energy, and each color has its own frequency and tone. It is the contrasts that are of great interest to me.

I have also always loved this in my own life, love to see the beauty in the imperfect.
I am inspired by contemplation, change and renewal.
 
I look for the contrasts in the light and in the dark, in the expression of the colors. For example from yellow to purple, or from green to red.
A little of one color and a lot of the other, never the same amount. Trying to harmonize it so the eye gets calm.

I also use that the colors can manipulate emotions if I want to tell something specific.

I want the viewer to have their own experience of the work, but that I have created an atmosphere, a framework that can be felt if you want.
This can be done with light or dark colors, or the range between the cold and warm shades.

I work especially with the depth of the image. I use the shades of the colors for what I want to be close to or far away.

​

My paintings are built up of many layers, thick and thin. By using these many layers, one can get a feeling of looking down below the water surface which I find interesting.
I wish the work has secrets that one can explore into painting.
I feel like you must not be able to see a painting right away.
 
My images are a mixture of dream and reality. An emotion, a memory, to go into oneself and give oneself to the encounter.
As in the figurative images with people, moods from streets and alleys. Recognize yourself in others.
Likewise, in my nature abstractions, one can in the same way enter into the work. Here you perhaps go more into your own spiritual journey, and in the mirrors find yourself.
