I am a figurative painter predominantly working in oil paint and watercolour.

I often work with life models and I like the dialogue with my models, the intimacy that is created during the sessions. Poetry often makes appearance both as inspiration and expression; thoughts shaped in words, skinned bare, left to be touched, entered and played with.

Most of my art originates in the body, its forms and relation to space, to itself; oversized body, the pained body, the curves, the fat, the shades and folds of the flesh fascinate me. The pressure of the outside and inside world; the stress, the eternal struggle with the mind. What makes a content body turn into a failed body?

I am interested in group dynamic and relationships, small hidden signs of interaction, affection, a gesture of the hand, a gaze sliding across, a fleeting touch.
