Abstract

When I start with a new abstract work, I usually begin with random brush strokes of color, and then paint unpredictably and intuitively. I always try to work in the direction that the painting gives me. Sometimes I paint on the rhythm of music. Often it is an experiment with different methods wich I have seen somewhere and would like to try myself. I always feel that I take great risks. I then reassure myself every time with words such as: “It’s just paint, you can always throw the painting away, and you can also paint over it again.” Then the panic decreases.
