An exercise in futility / En övning i meningslöshet

My paintings are basically explained as a fusion between decoration, expression and presence in the form of energy, frequency and vibration. When I compose a motif, I do it primarily to fascinate myself. My paintings are also my artistic statement during my time. They are a visual narrative state, without a beginning or end. When I paint i strive to find a dialogue with the motif and to capture a certain phantom animation, vision and feeling with a vague sound. When I can hear this sound and feel the animation, I know the painting is processed and ready. I perceive a name for the painting and leave the interpretation to the spectator.
