My art is based on good will and harmony. The concern about disharmony and inhumanity in the world is a source of constant inspiration in my work. The information I receive from mythology, the Bible and everyday reality become the spiritual instruments in my mind, the material for mental observation. MY rhythmical fantasies and discoveries […]

Every time when I start to create a painting, I already have a concrete idea in my mind. What is going to happen? I am not making the painting, the painting is creating me! The result is – without surprise – definitely different. All the paintings, which were done this way, became my favorites. It […]

“My name is John Ford and I make Westerns”. Many western and thriller movies of his era are important sources of inspiration for me. Most of my portraits are “narrative” and are referring to cinematographic projections, close-up shots. I never ask people to pose but rather observe from a distance, waiting for the right “take”. […]

The aesthetic of industrial use of metal has always fascinated me. I like the idea of blending the destructive, strong, resistant, powerful, sides of industrial pieces and machinery with the more emotional and aesthetic purpose of art. It is like absurd creations of robust and indestructible (even destructive) objects in contrast with the cheaper ones we […]

  The sea is a mirror of the human unconscious. When I paint the sea, I channel the spirits that come to me from the Ocean, and from Atlantis. I am irresistibly drawn to the sea, and on stormy nights I hear “an mordros”, the sound of the sea from my bedroom window. I believe […]

In my art I would like to depict the best that I can the beauty of the world wonderfully made for us by our Creator. I can see this beauty everywhere—in a smile of a small child, in a bouquet of the wild flowers, in the shady forests and peaceful waters of the lakes, on […]

Through my work, I explore the duality and the unity of physical and metaphysical worlds. I make an inquiry into the meaning of our existence from different perspectives including animist beliefs, religion, spirituality, and science. I incorporate images inspired by religious architecture, animal totems, landscapes, scientific illustrations, and geometric shapes; through which I aim to […]

I think that from the very beginning of my painting I was interested in people, in all of them milling around. I liked looking into their faces, trying to read them like in the books I’ve always loved. It’s just like one poet and journalist wrote about me and my work – I’m a painter […]

My watercolor paintings are a combination of floating pigments and strict, more solid elements. The light atmosphere this creates exposes my mindset of the changing light in the landscape of the Lofoten Islands in Norway, where I was born and grew up. In wintertime there is almost no daylight, But the light that is left […]

My art is clearly contemplative in nature. I paint on canvas, timber boards, and cork sheets. I make sculpted objects using string, or make spatial and  illusive painting objects. The array of colors is quite limited to various shades of white, grey, black, or brown. As an artist, I oscillate on the border between a […]
