In search of the unknown Painting

Drawing is for me like storytelling in images.We are all struggling to find meaning in our lifes and I like to investigate how we do that. A central theme in my work is being 'comfortably numb', pleasantly numb. How do you live your life? Open, touchable, vulnerable, on the border of the unpleasant or quiet, easy and comfortable but withdrawn and hidden? Caring and contact versus carelessness and loneliness. Comfort versus pain. Living versus sleeping. What is "real" and how much life can we bear? I love drawing while it is a non-pretentious media. It gives me the possibility to experiment with a lot of materials and mix them together, like pencils, gouache, inks, markers etc. My work is colorfull, a bit fairytale-like but mostly with a bit darker twist in it. Lately I discovered Acrylic-Gouache. It had the touch and feel of matte and opaque from gouache but when it is dry it is waterproof and that allows me to work in multiple bright layers. I'm really in love with this paint! All my paintings and drawing will be shipped unframed because of shipping cost. (Even if you see them framed in pictures of them in exhibitions!) If you like a painting/drawing framed please contact me.
