Artist’s Statement

My techniques are oil, acrylic and crayon, in graphic art serigraphy and digital. Since 1971 I have participated in exhibitions home and abroad, in solo exhibitions as well as in group exhibitions with Non Art group especially in Scandinavia, nowadays also in Europe, in the USA and in Japan.
In recent years I have been affected by the Italian art and by the Renaissance. I like to paint nocturnal topics. I paint "the black light". However, my night is not gloomy. Shadows are used to create lightness, shape and illusion. The paintings are disconnected from reality, although they include parts of reality loaded with symbolism and images.
