Forever 27 - Kurt Cobain Painting

My work is an interplay of words, colours and images. For my artworks, I use different techniques such as print, stencils, screenprint, spraypaint and acrylic on canvas. To achieve extra vibrant colours and dept, I apply epoxy resin on the finished works by myself. I begin my work without any preconceived ideas at all what the finished work is going to look like. I like the idea of each painting being a journey, ending at an unknown destination. The layers of torn street posters fascinate me. I see a lot of beauty in these old weathered street posters. A new life that hides behind an old, waiting to be discovered. For me it somehow represents the energy of the city. With their seemingly random shapes, colors, texture these torn posters form a work of art on their own. By adding multiple layers of colors, different images and texture I want to give each painting a unique mood and depth – no two paintings are ever the same.
