About Me

My paintings are often colorful scenes or landscapes without a direct relationship with reality. They reach for something behind or beyond that point, to a world of imagination. There is room for wonderment, joy or stillness.

My intention is to work with an open mind trying to find the right balance between shapes and colors, aiming at some kind of harmony with a twist. Through my art, I want to achieve a suggestive, decorative and aesthetic effect. Having said that, it is by no means a very serious business, I just like to play.

I find inspiration in everyday life, traveling, meeting people. And of course in fine art and great artists that I admire.

I create my paintings mainly with acrylic paint on canvas, but also with mixed media techniques.

Life is a great discovery, I am grateful for all experiences so far
