About me
Artist and creative director with several years of experience in the creative profession in graphic concepts, decor, interior styling, photography and art assignments. My art reminds us of life as an empty canvas where anything can happen and where we add and peel off. My art gives us insights and stories, invites to encounters with moods, spaces, and environments. The interest in the psychological aspects of man – our journey through life and everyday life – never overshadows the aesthetic expression. Are you an observer or are you being observed?

Inspiration:
I usually start from a photograph where I build and play with the magic of colors, peel off, add, brightness, darkness, and contrasts, on a white canvas anything can happen! Our existence here on earth as the individual fascinates me and our interaction with nature in its space. As a spectator and contemplator. The interaction creates magic in its place for us as humans as individuals and in flocks.
