| ABOUT ME |
I look at myself as a storyteller, see each painting as a sequence of a story of which the beginning and ending is unknown. The story belongs to the viewer, only the scenery is given.
I wish for my paintings to work as fragments of a dream, or an almost forgotten smell from childhood.
Subtle oddities intrigue me, like coincidental poetry that hit you in the most unlike places, just as I collect poetic and picturesque sayings and words for later use.
Inspiration comes from anywhere; an interesting font, a movie poster from the 50’s, an anecdote written i sky blue ink, vintage wall paper, an amazing shade of yellow...
The atmosphere is important, just like the choice of colour - and words and letters put another layer in the story, both in meaning and in the visual effect.
My paintings are a mixture of acrylic and collage on canvas. I also use glue, pencil and charcoal to enhance the drawing, the space and the atmosphere. |

I will be in my first REAL show (group) april 13 at SICA (shore institute for contemporary art) . I really like your use of collage (newspaper) ...ive been thinking alot about how to use it in a painting im working on right now. I really want to use the colorful stupid advertisements somehow....
