ANAMNESIS OF LANDSCAPE

the paintings



This Series of paintings allows me

to immerse into " pure " painting

without being lost in it.



Over the years I have searched for

this freedom in my work.



I explore and try to find the balance

between the realistic image and the

pictorial values for my paintings.



The concept of multiple canvases

and panels has always fascinated

me.



It leads me towards the medieval

concept of religious paintings and

their spirituality.



I hope that spirituality and serenity

are integral to my work.



Colour and light are additional fac-

tors that guide my work.

Colour to me is light.



For me, the Anamnesis Paintings

come close to musical experience.

I feel these works are a more direct,

human and spiritual expression

without confinement of the motif or

formal restriction; yet still consist of

all those elements that I have ex-

plored in my work over the years.

I do not use my photograph as

“support material” for my paintings,

but rather as a loose inspiration.



For me these photographs have a

separate identity as I am searching

with my camera a personal inter-

pretation of the subjects.



This is my journey through Iceland

and Greenland in summer 2011.
