"An Angel Over Rome. Category DREAMSCAPES" Painting

I am a Danish-born artist/painter living and working in London England.
My colourful and often soulful paintings over the years can be found in a number of collections worldwide, public as well as private. Do have a look at some of my Collections listed under Saatchiart Collections. Several works have won prizes.
I create colourful, often philosophically inspired, paintings mainly on canvas - a result of having lived a colourful life. Every one of my canvases is unique, the subject - whether real or imagined - conceived and executed entirely based on the quirky and mostly sunny way my mind works. In other words, I rely almost entirely on my ‘mind’s eye’..
So, welcome onboard for an untraditional ride!

I was born, I joke, with a paintbrush in my hand.
I have been fortunate enough to be able to pursue my passion for painting for many years and hope sincerely I can do so till, as I put it, ‘I fall out of my little red Danish clogs’ - inshallah.
And every day is a new adventure!

I was born and grew up in Denmark surrounded by nature, deep forests, large fields, and the wild North Sea not far away, all undoubtedly contributing to my inspiration as an artist. Having a father who was a country doctor and a mother a psychologist, my upbringing was both liberal and caring.

My inspiration.

I travelled the globe - ever open to new impressions, life, beauty, passion.

Besides, I am inspired by very diverse sources, from philosophers to painters/artists: from Plato, Leonardo da Vinci to Michelangelo, and onwards to the post-impressionists to expressionists, Van Gogh being a firm favourite and influence.

Colourful images are forever swirling in my mind - especially when it comes to my ongoing series about MY Cosmos - which I call ‘My Playful Cosmos’ - might I be in space? The stars, the galaxies, the planets, in fact, all those ‘heavenly bodies’: my goddesses!, all the vibrant and beautiful shapes - like watching the ever-changing clouds float by - I see the angels... You may, too, if you take a little time out to look at my paintings. My female forms, by the way, are much inspired by my time as a model, and I would describe them as abstract’ish!

My life philosophy.

I pray for peace, freedom, love, - and hope. Now our world needs this more than ever.
