Biography

Born in Copenhagen May 13th 1963.

Self-taught.

Since childhood I have always been fascinated by paintings and colours.

In 1997 I moved to Siena and for several years I have lived in Montalcino painting more than 200 pictures.

Beeing an artist is not a choise. It is a state of mind. When I am painting - mostly oil on canvas - I express my concept of reality. Once painted the work becomes a reality itself.

Abstraction is my primary aim and passion, but I am well aware of the difficulties implied - half a nose, half a smile is enough to make the whole world consider it a portrait.

In fact I very much like painting portraits, beeing however more interested in expressing the abstract aspects of the subject not merely the visible physical appeareance. Portraits where I can create the iconography instead of copying images already known. I want to create not copy. The concept of my portraits is therefore very often abstract.

No more words - the paintings tell their own stories.
