I am an abstract painter who works with color and geometry as
my main tools. I am fascinated by architecture and sculpture,
which influence my compositions and shapes. I also love music,
which is always playing in my studio and in my mind when I
paint. Music helps me to create rhythm, harmony and contrast
in my paintings. I also experiment with 3D elements, such as
wood, metal and plastic, which add depth and dimension to
my paintings. I like to walk around my paintings and see them
from different sides, as if they were sculptures. My paintings
are not meant to depict reality, but to express my inner vision
and emotions. Painting is my way of communicating and
understanding the world around me. It is my language.
I have a background in art education from the UK, where I
studied for several years and learned from different teachers
and artists. I enjoyed the diversity and richness of the UK art
scene, which exposed me to different styles and techniques.
I currently live and work in Norway, where I have established
my studio and gallery. I enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility
of Norway, which inspire me to create abstract art. I also
participate in exhibitions and events, where I share my work
with other artists and audiences.
