About the Artist

When I was seven I saw Salvador Dali, on a big exhibition at the modern museum in Stockholm. Seven years later the colour of Edward Munch hit me,14 years later the impact of the american abstract expressionists painters impressed me much. But I guess I mostly do paintings with horizons myself.
Mysteries are hiding in the pictures different levels, but in this places there can also be found a strictly personal advice for a concievable life to come
