War...conflict...


What is the artist´s role in it. Should we depict it, analyze it or ignore it by focusing on something else.
This winter I made my first painting inspired by conflict. I have no foto to show you yet...
Falling in love with old stuff from time to time...Lately this little piece went home with me from an antiques dealer.

I developed a deep bonding with the sea sailing the waters of Denmark and Germany...

I still have the "disease"...It has quite an influence on my works of art.
Me...watching the sea;-)

"Slow art" (and slow dancing:-)

I work with bright colours in a mostly quite slow process, where gathering inspiration is an important part.

I despise the "anything goes" mentality, which dominates a lot of the artworld today.
To me producing art/ to paint is a skill, which needs working on,  all of the artist´s life. Therefore my paintings can be very different from each other.
I´m always trying out something new....while still working with older ideas...Sometimes it´s quite a beeswarm to have in one´s head, but I´m never bored:-)

I´ll be working on my blog - but mostly on my paintings.

Have a pleasant day!

Best regards!
