Sleeping trees and tree of life
I adore trees. The appearance of a tree is magical, beautiful, strong and have a sense of being reliable. All parts of a tree gives me happiness and makes me feel comfortable like a nice friend.
In this serie the purpose was to visualise a fragile expression with trees, snow and ice, during a sleeping and calm time of the year.
I painted with oil on canvas board with a light cold colour palette in thin layers.

Mystery of love
In this serie I explored faces and faces to me are like poetry. Expressions, complexion and the gaze that gather in a form which both invite you and forbid you to get closer.
These paintings were made layer upon layer in subtle colour palette in ink.

One of a kind
I painted these as one of a kind painting and with the intention to give the paintings a colorful and a strong composition without any other meaning. I enjoy painting abstract because it gives me a sense of “go with the flow” and to work with ink I have to trust my ability concerning how colour works in different aspects and how the form elements works in the composition together with the colour.

Careful faces
In this serie I wanted to portray that there is a layer between the vulnerable face and the outside world a kind of present face but carefully hidden and sheltered.
I worked with a pencil, ink and crayon with a soft palette of colours.

I am painting my way through life
These paintings represent journeys in my life both as an actual trip by bus or car but even as a trip in my mind. I have this strong and fascinating pictoral memory of a blurry sight while looking through the window while travelling with speed and the experience of daydreams during the trip.
These paintings are made with ink and in a quick process for keeping the paintings vivid and colourful.

Black and white trees
In this work I wanted to create a strong contrast between the shapes of the different parts of the tree by focus on the black and white colour. The sense of a wall of trees, that you can't walk through came, by an intuitive and quick way of painting.
I adore trees. The appearance of a tree is magical, beautiful, strong and sense of being reliable and all parts of a tree gives me happiness and makes me feel comfortable just like a nice friend.
