my inner landscape
is attempted expressed here
A b o u t
I need to be productive and completely present in all my endeavours, whether weeding a flowerbed, playing with my dog, going for a walk or painting.
I find inspiration everywhere, but nothing beats strong feelings and the natural elements. I go deeply into my feelings to find the essence of the energy, drifting away as thoughts, symbolically reflected in the movements of the clouds. The power within everyone of us is immense and I hope my paintings can be a reminder of that.
I can look at the clouds for hours at a time – moving and changing shapes. The variations in colour, mist, density, lightness and darkness show both variation and continuity at the same time, elegantly depicting a human life.
Paintings during 2000-2023 are made with acrylics, but recent experimentation with water soluble oils opened up an new universe for me. Painting with oils is a joy beyond description, so now I put the first layer down with acrylics and use oils to create the impression I want.
I work in my home studio in Oslo.
