With my drawings I try to capture, portray the spirit of nature and the wild. Often with use of elements of nature: wood and fire. Every piece is my attempt to create something real, life-like on a simple piece of wood or paper
Its about connecting your own spirit with other forces of nature and wilderness. The essence of my work is to capture the spirit of wild animals in my work and to honour their spirit, to visualize the soul of wildlife that I hold dear. A connection that many people have lost in the 21st century in western europe where I come from. I hope I bring the value of respecting nature and respect for these beautiful creatures in every piece of artwork.

What is the value of an image or portrait ? What does it mean?
Without a connection the real world? With the immense pressure our society puts on the natural environment, wildlife and wilderness.
