Information about the artist / the group

I paint (with oil, acrylic and pigment colors) the horizon of a wanderer, the sky, the land and the sea, but in a way that examines the temporality of the surrounding reality.
All my pictures are fleeting impressions in a way. The people in my pictures are allegorical.
I have studied art all my life. I did two master's degrees and a doctoral dissertation on the importance of art and culture in the surrounding society. My pictures contain references, especially from Western art history.

When I paint, I keep the darkness at bay. That is perhaps the most important motive for my painting.

Program during Konstrundan

I present my art to interested listeners, discuss with them about making, looking at and the meaning of art together with other artists from Cable Factory. No other special program. Based on last year, people also want to get tips on their own painting.
