Press Release

Painting and drawing for me has the form of thinking and language. They are needed in the interaction between people, as well as in the processes in my own mind.

  Human, animal or other organic being is usually the visible part of my work. More invisible is the life in the world, which reflects to my work by painting and drawing.

  Nothing is ever what it seems. The viewer decides for himself. I often realize during the different phases in the working process, that the motives and visible subjects are changing positions. Due to that my own perspectives and ideas on matters develop into new positions. I most obviously interact with what comes out from doing.

  Humor, sarcasm and compassion direct my working methods unless I consciously try to prevent them.
