My inspiration

"There are things which words cannot express - visions that are filled with life through the creating of shapes and colors.”

I paint with the conviction that my art is touching the lives of many people. My philosophy of living is the result of a lifelong love affair with art. As my collectors have described me; “My art comes from my heart.”

Art has awakened in my existence the vital energy and ask questions that have no answers. Art has given me the opportunity to live a life filled with magic.

The art editor

"The colors, compositions and excitement in his paintings obviously speak to something within people, which makes a person long to have a painting hanging on a private wall - so as to "empty" it more than an experience on an exhibition could ever possibly allow."

"When one lets in the universe of these paintings and gently slides it in through the eyes, one really understands why." Gunnar Pedersen, editor at Visva.
