About The Artwork
Painting a self portrait is one of the most interesting investigations a painter can do. It's been 9 years since I last painted one, and I was getting a little curious about that mirror thing. I don´t control what comes out when I work. I'm guided through it. And because the serpent has a rather bad reputation from Genesis and the Harry Potter books, I feel like I must defend it a little here:). The serpent is a very old and widespread mythological symbol, representing amongst many things the force of life, death and rebirth, healing powers - and signifies the umbilical cord between humans and mother earth. The serpent is associated with some of the oldest rituals known to humankind. In my opinion, it's only scary to people who deny their own nature. Those who know how to make use of it, understand how beautiful and powerful this essence is. It was also a royal symbol of the Pharoes in ancient Egypt.

"I tell fairytales with oil paintings. I work with a figurative imagery based on geometric forms. The fairytales are true to tradition formulated through a symbolic language, mirroring my own development as a human being. The intention of my work is to create a brighter and better space to rest in a somewhat dark and chaotic world. It’s an attempt of building bridges between the primitive and the civilized, between nature and industrialization, between fairytales and rational thought. The intention is also reflected in the formalist narrative of the paintings, because I place the canvases in a grid formation as a puzzle. This representation symbolizes a window or a screen between inside and outside – dream and reality. I focus on being human as part of nature – and nature as part of being human. The paintings are imprints of my own experiences as a woman living in a world filled with contradictions".
