About me

Patterns from rocks and mountains inspire me. I often use my own nature photographs from my home surroundings to influence my paintings which normally are painted with many layers and a pallet knife to give a rough image.  Charcoal and black lines often symbolise borders we meet or make in relations to most things in live. How we connect is an underlying theme in most of my paintings which vary from quite big abstract paintings to more simplified semi-abstract landscapes and portraits.
