An artistic statement
My work is my very subjective response to the world around me; a world with rapidly changing values and increasing grayscales surrounding old political and religious truths as well as an overload of visual information, text and sound.
There’s no clear criticism or direction but a simultaneous mockery and celebration of the diversity of our time here and now. I strive to create situations and scenes, forming a floating stage of vagueness or ambiguity to give the viewer space for their own thoughts and journeys.
I’m inspired by the immediate and emotionally involved communication achieved in children’s art, something you also find in work defined as outsider art. Folk art with its overload of patterns, ornaments and riots of color also inspires me as well as the baroque with its exuberance and slightly exaggerated language.
