My watercolurs depict often landscapes in an abstract or half abstract way.
layers of soft tones are mixed with graphic lines, marks and granulating pigments in front.
The expression has a poetic, nordic and moody tones. Sometimes strong.
And the colur blue is almost always present in some form.

I want to express memories of the feeling, that certain landscapes and motives inspires me to feel. Not an exact copy of a certain motive, but the feeling, for instance respect, curiosity, love, uncertainty or longing. A landscape I want to remenber and come back to. I also want the finished painting to surprise me, and to make me wonder how and why it turned out the way it did. I like to think that the painting "had a will of its own".

To get there I found that the watercolour technique is the best way to express this. I use large amounts of water and watercolour in different solutions. Strong or week. I poor this onto 300g, 425 g or 600g high quality paper, almost using the law of gravity instead of brushes: allowing the flood of colour to cover a marked space. Surplus colour is allowed to to run onto the table to be sucked up with a paper towel or cloth. I´m specially fond of high quality granulating watercolours. Before or after I like to make marks and print with different kind of thin nonabsorbent paper. My aproach to my work is intuitive. I prepare myselv with loose thumbnail sketches and an idea of what colours to use. But I often change plans along the way allowing the watercolurs "to lead the way".It´s like a dialogue. And I´ve learned that this approach gives me the best results. The unpredictability is the most fascinating about the watercolour technique for me.
Sometimes it´s like developing af photo, that you couldn´t rember you had taken, or discovering a memory of a place you´ve never bin to.
