( Peintre) - Edition Automne 2010

I paint in oil. The choices of motif are simple shapes in a diffuse reality, where tranquility and tension meet. The bold beauty of ugliness attracts me. I can find it in people, landscapes, horses, houses and diverse objects.
I often explore the human condition and what happens in our identities and relationships. With the brush I capture the nuances of our existence. No life is purely simple or purely complicated. No relationship is the solution to our searching. That is why I keep on painting.
Very seldom I know exactly what it is that inspires me and I don´t feel that I have to be conscious of it either. It can be something that comes along when I least expect it and something totally spontaneous: a dog, a dream, colors I see when I close my eyes, a barren landscape, people, a day in New York, art, music, emptiness, something that someone says or something I read... Life. I also get inspired by what I paint. A painting can open a door to something new.
The studio in Stockholm, Sweden is my base.
