ABOUT THE ARTWORK

From my early childhood, growing up in my home country, I remember all the beautiful flowers we used to have in our garden in the summer. I still can smell their lovely sweet fragrances and their beautiful colours. This large painting will make a statement in your living room or office. “First day of Summer” is a large colorful painting, build up with many layers of acrylic paint. The painting is unstretched but is made for a deep gallery wrapped canvas, the sides are painted as well. Due to its size, this piece will ship from the artist's studio unstretched and rolled in a tube. The detail images are intended to show how the piece will look stretched. Thank you for your interest. ________________________________________

My paintings are reflections, single thoughts, moods, and conversations on canvas. A dance between colors, with movement and energy. ARTIST STATEMENT The start of a new painting is always a very exciting moment for me. The blank canvas is waiting for my ideas and decisions about where to start and what to paint. My influences and inspirations are found everywhere in the daily life around me, in large part from the beauty of nature and by an emotional connection to the ocean. I’m an artist, painting in an abstract expressionist style. I enjoy the freedom to express my feelings and emotions and working intuitively. Listening to music and making meditative strolls along the shore are ways to get in contact with my subconscious before I can let flow the energy. The whole process during the making of the painting is a very challenging one with all kind of emotions. I build up, destroy, erase, and paint over until I’m satisfied and energetic surfaces appear that are rich with texture and emotion. Acrylic is my main medium, but I also love to work with oil and cold wax, a completely different technique and approach. I’m always learning and exploring new techniques that push me further with each new piece. As my life changes, so does my work.
