The beauty of growth and decay My current work is about organic processes at both micro and macro levels. The beauty of natural growth and decomposition processes are discussed. It is not an imitation of nature but a search for similarities in structure with similar processes in painting. By allowing and directing chance during painting. A quest that does not aim for detailed copying, but rather indicates the relationship between the creative process and the processes of origin and growth in nature. I strive for a subtle balance between color, transparency and composition. In a moderate use of color that is inspired by, for example, the colors in a weathered wall or large bare ice surfaces. The interaction between chaos and order and the various transparent layers makes you curious about the meanings in the work. The formal language in the work calls for associations and creates space for your own interpretations. I feel a great unrest in society at this time and want to offer space for meditation and contemplation in my paintings.
