ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Life moves in cycles. The depicted animal figure is not a specific animal but an emblem of any living creature that is born, grows and dies. Blue is the color of purification. Red is the color of action and birth. The circles are instead of legs and represent motion. The Dual Eternity symbol appears in place of the eyes and speaks about the eternal matter-energy transformation. The Cycle of Life painting series is about dwelling on the human life essence; where are we from? What are we made of and where are we heading? The Cycle of Life looks at the similarity between the largest and smallest building blocks of our universe. The medium is my multi-layered technique using cold tar, oil and acrylic paints. The materials are moved around on the canvas in cyclical movements, taking days and sometimes weeks to complete.

First came the awe about the starry nights then the words to describe my inspiration. I started writing in my twenties, it took more than 15 years for colors and shapes to join and be part of my self-expression. In my FLY book I wrote about our place as sparkling entities within the vastness of a dark universe, when I started to paint, stars and galaxies landed on my canvases. Then I was exposed to Lennart Nilsson's inner body photography and, I was amazed about the similarity between stars and ovum, comets and sperms, embryos, and galaxies, so, on big canvases, I created my version of the beginning of human life. From those two series, 'Deep Space' and 'Human Formation', emerged my current body of works 'Cycles of Life'. In my belief life and death are on the same bar of existence and there is no 'out there'. My method is called Free the Life within You, FLY is about the freedom to dare, cross the lines, be spontaneous, to mix oil and acrylic with cold tar in an unpredictable process, and to embrace the unexpected results. Since 2009 I have been teaching FLY workshops around the globe. I believe that making and teaching art is my part of a collective effort to enlighten our world.
