The black color moves across the canvas in a way that reminds me of the way things moves under water. The movement is from left to right, similar to the way we read. This is why I have chosen to call it a wave.

The clear light in the background gives the black shilhuettes their life and contributes to sharpness of the edges.

There are a number of movements in the black shapes that could be seen as both movement, but also as if the elements disolves,like some elements would do under water.

The shapes are orgaic and has references to naturalistic shapes.

I wanted the red to shine trough and be a clear rich color, while the rest of the colors are colors inspired by autum, the red color is almost the only primary color.

There are three types of colors, primary colors that can not be mixed, secondary colors that are a mixeture of two primary colors and tertiary, that are colores mixed from three primary colors.

Abstract landscape with an edge.

The abstraction with the blue and white in the top of the images, and the dark soil, can be seen as a landscape.

I have chosen to call it landscape with an edge, because I think that it has a strenght and an uease, which gives it an edge or a sharpness.

Landscape in red.

Painting, acrylic on canvas.The image is an abstraction over the subject of a landscape.

In the landscape is a hint of a cross and a stonehenge.

I think that the image have elements that could be linked to the time of vikings in Denmark.

The image contains a number of varm colors, the colors are secondary or tetiary.

There are three types of colors, primary colors that can not be mixed, secondary colors that are a mixeture of two primary colors and tertiary, that are colores mixed from three primary colors.

The secondary and tetiarry colors, as present here, are more often seen in nature than primary colors,here there is also black figures.

Even though black and white are not actual colors, the black is more graphic, but here it is also used as a part of the abstraction, since it makes the perception of the figure alsomost flat or iconic.

The red stream.


Acrylic on canvas.The image symbolizes a stream of life, blood or enegy.

I have chosen the red color to symbolize life, pasion and even more concrete a stream of blood.

I order to make it appear concentrated I have limited it, so that there is a destiction between the red and the white, in order to focus on the energy in it.

The knot.


Acrylic on canvas. The knot is an abstract representation of withheld, concentrated energy, before the energy gets releashed.

I consider it to be a knot, because I see it as different energies forced together, entwined and waiting to get releashed.

Yellow Jazz.


Abstract pinating in acrylic on canvas from 2008.The images is af light surruonded by darkness.

Since the darkness is up and the lght is under, it creates a heavy feeling, but also a dynamic.

The yellow and the withe in the lower part of the image is however strong enough to give the feeling that the darkness on top, is getting pushed up by the light.

I have chosen to call the images "Yellow jazz", since the yellow colors is the most significante in the image.

The jazz comes in because of the overall feeling of the image,the feeling of being able to easily move from darkness to light and back, with the same ease as I somtimes find in jazz.
