I love to wander in the streets of Kyoto. She is like an ancient goddess in a beautiful flowing silk kimono patterned with blossoms.

Still life. Feeling the quietness, embracing the softness of each moment. Calming still life.

Nature, female faces and nudes are my main inspiration. Love for the curves, the solidness, the sensuality. As an observer you are invited to read between the lines and let your own story evolve.

Female faces are always a big inspiration to me. I enjoy especially drawing the eyes and this is what I start with. It is the most difficult part of the painting but also the most exciting to find out her expression, her character while drawing.

Serene Moonlight, pearl clouds glowing illuminating the dawn on meandering waves of violet painted waters. A hidden pure soul emerged from an ancient shell in the deep ocean. In the sunshine she will shine. Precious mother of pearl.

I love the shades of brown in my home. It’s a warm rich color and blends so good with other shades and accents in my home. I love to add a little coral or pink like some fabric or candles. It’s like instant brightness and it’s beautiful with the brown artwork. Brown is beautiful with complementary colors such as  red or yellow-whites, dusky pink, lighter blue or sage green. The warmth of brown is associated with reliability, healing and strength. Brown associates with the earth, a calming and resilient element that keeps us quite grounded.

Love to paint on old bookpaper and old faded paper, painting with japanese brushes and twigs, using thin layers of ink & paint. Old paper sucks up the ink and paint quickly, giving the paintings an open and transparent look. After a few hours the ink and paint begins to spread a bit, blurring previously sharp lines, and figures become distorted, love this mysterious and dreamy feeling.

An ode to beautiful Siroua, magical memories of our stay in the beautiful Berber village. Driving through the Atlas Mountains, a breath-taking road with beautiful panoramic views of colorful Berber villages and the fields in which women are working.

To me, sunsets are painted by loved ones. I’m often thinking about my sister, because when you loose someone you love, it’s the sunsets  which makes you thinks about them. Sunsets too have met an end. The sun sets each day, a constant motion. Each day, the sunset portrays an ending and the chance to start new fills every following morning. I love sunsets, most of the time I just enjoy watching a variety of colors fill the sky. Sunsets allow me to stop and enjoy the little things in life. It sparks inspiration and mystery, creating innovative minds, noticing beautiful natural things.

My art has some whimsy, some wonder, and a whole lot of romance for the beauty of this life.

Let’s go on an adventure, a boat lost between the clear summer sky and the shimmering deep blue hue of the wide ocean. Invite a part of the ocean and the sky inside your home with this painting from the time I spent in Tasmania.

The sun rises
and the morning dew unveils its magic.
Shimmering droplets
adorning the earth with nature's jewels.
A moment of purity and rejuvenation. 
Pause, reflect, 
and cherish the beauty of the world.

I love the early morning dew on the flowers and fields sourrounding my home. Touched by the first sun strokes, they shine so brightly and create a magical atmosphere.

Palmier - the leaf of a king palm tree. 

The first time I saw a palm tree, I immediately fell in love with their shape and form, which is why I included it also in my logo tinystories.

“Indah” means beautiful in Indonesia and I painted this portrait on one of my many travels to this magical chain of islands. Beauty wherever you go, inside and out…

As part of this mini-series “Tendre terre” is inspired by the Japanese concept “wabi sabi” which is about the perception of beauty. Accepting the transient nature of life, authenticity serves as a focus point of wabi sabi cherishes the cracks and imperfections. They symbolize the passage of time and loving use. Love as the antidote to a throwaway society built on disposable goods and mass-produced homogenous items.

Nature’s beauty is a source of inspiration to me. Nature gives me the showers that clears my mind and clears my thinking. Nature teaches to be patient. It teaches me how much caring and nurturing it requires. It’s a lot like love.
