Ships flat packed in a box.
The unpredictable and ever-changing and weather along the coast offers an infinity of inspiration. I just love to look out over the horizon taking in the big sky.
Clouds are elusive, always on the move and ever changing. Tracing the shapes and colours are fascinating as the moods are transient and transforming.
This artwork is inspired by the tree of life and is a mix of memories of the big sky, moving clouds, wind that moves it all and a dash of dreams that includes Yggdrasil, from the norse mythology.
“There cannot ever have been a spring more beautiful than this. I tid not know until noe that clouas could be like this. I did not know that the sky is the sea and that clouds are the should of happy ships, sunk long ago. I did not know that the wind could be tender, like hands as they caress - what did I know - until now”

I like to paint moody moments like this and express its calm and serene greatness, because thats how I remember it.
I build the mood slowly using my handmade pastels on cotton paper. These lyrical landscapes are not pictures of actual places, they are made from memories and express emotions and a state of mind as much as a landscape.
