This abstract is created in memory of the beautiful serene Kyoto. “Kasshoku” means brown and I love Kyoto with its traditional brown wooden houses and the temple surrounded by cherry blossom trees.

I look out of the window. Soothing sunshine and I think of you. You linger on my mind calming peace. Soothing…

That inner calm, I open my heart to the source. Soothing…

Calming silence.

Morning dew. Mirror the magical starlight to bless our day after a peaceful night. Morning dew. In the first chill of morning light like tiny pearls upon the leaves. They make mornings a bliss…

 I’m inspired by the unique shapes of the mountains, the trees, the flowers and the beautiful underwater world, the coral wonders in shades of orange and pink.

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

Chestnut, brown, terra, sienna… An ode to the colors of the earth, the colors of life.

A portrait painting of Tresor who reminds me of a picture in my grandmother’s old family photobook. When closing my eyes, I still remember all photos in there. I see the beautiful garden, the little village and those sweet memories feel like a warm hug from the past. Who does Tresor remind you of?

This woman’s portrait, painted in soft pink and tender brown, feels like a memory of warmth. I love how the flowing colors ground me, calming the mind like early morning light. It’s as if I can smell the fresh air, feel the earth beneath my feet, and sense the soft light brushing gently against my skin.

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.

“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…

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.

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.

Inspired by my travels to Polynesia.

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.

 Colorful joy, inspired by my love of color.

Color is so powerful, it sets the mood for the story I’m telling through my art. I use color very intuitive, I do not start with a color palette, but start painting directly, I am fearless when it comes to color..

‘Color is a power which directly influences the soul’ by Wassily Kandinsky

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.

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.

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.

Abstract monoprints are where I love to rely on my subconscious and connect to internal reactions. Emotions instead of being a pure observer. Awakening the senses, what do you see when looking?
