About the Artist

I get inspired by relations and differences and the patterns we all create every day. In my painting I often use schemes and (figures) numbers as base. Seeing quite more life and character in numbers, than, I use them instead of bodies to paint portraits. Creating groups or "families" of numbers they start to exist in a more living way.
I think that we should honor the figures more for what the bring us every day. They serve us doubtlessly guarding our secrets behind numerous codes - PIN codes for accounts, phones and doors. They mark periods in our lives like milestones in phone numbers or addresses.
My paintings are mostly a tribute to numbers and relations.
