Lives and Works in Sweden

   
 

Post-modem thinking inspires my work, as if everything has been done. New forms are created. Everyone seems to be walking around in a world with no order, sometimes in-groups, sometimes fleeing from an unknown danger. The image 'has several rooms, often illogical. It is even against things that are charismatic or contain a message. The works shows both present and past time, mixed with cultures and expressions. It is an anonymous communication  zone. My recent work shows a geotropic world, vision or future, where technology is on its way to break apart. It offers a transcription of reality, but in a fairy tale surrounding. It is of places in the world out there. It is important subjects in shape of something else. The people walk around wondering in a world that is continually changing. The work oscillates between the comic and tragic, it has a meaning, at the same time it tries not to have. It is a mixture of times and influences, which makes it timeless. I am inspired by the old masters, especially Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Pieter Bruegel and Millet. Later artists who inspire my work are George Grosz and Max Beckman. More recent artists, like Steven Campbell, Paula Rego, Odd Nerdrum and Jean Rustin also inspire me.
