Our trip to Sweden and Norway, summer 2024, part 2
After arriving back on land we shopped for groceries and started a long ride to Norway, to Sognefjellshytta. The road we took was first down to Jonkoping, then we went through Goteborg, then through Oslo and from there up to our location. Here are some pictures from...
We talk to the same stars
"We talk to the same stars" is a summer painting, inspired by a memory from our trip up north last year. Stars have a charm that people, artists and poets alike were always enamoured by. Stars shine in darkness, they shine in the night, when we let our thoughts wander...
Our trip to Sweden and Norway, summer 2024, part 1
Day 1, A start of an adventure or the end of it? We decided to go on a holiday to the north on the 2nd week of July, in fact in a matter of two days. I went only with my father, because my mother and sister couldn´t go for personal reasons. There were some logistical...

Secret friend
I am here with a new artwork called "Secret friend". The name is quite a poetic one and I decided to title it like this because I felt like this place is so ordinary, but secret place. Perhaps no one really stops by it but someone knows about it. It is inspired by the...
Awaken – instrumental song

Art in it´s making is a great mystery unraveling
I love the creation of art. The process. Why that is? Because it means unveiling a great mystery. A great treasure. The thought or the idea that I have prior to that is the clue to what it´s gonna be about. The process means playing with my imagination and the paints...
