Dance Of Seven Veils. Category FEMALE FORMS Painting

I was born, I joke!, with a paintbrush in my hand. Having lived a colourful life, 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 a painter. 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 own mind - especially when it comes to my latest, and ongoing, series about MY Cosmos - which I am calling ‘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 heavily 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.
