“What is one to do in a world so utterly confused and violent? I try to create new paintings and not repeat the same old pattern. I become often deeply serious when I’m confronted with the chaos in our world, the uncertainty, warfare and destruction. Every new painting is extremely difficult for me to create. I need a lot of time, passion, freedom and openness but most importantly peace to do so. The idea is that each painting should be a light that can never be put out, a symbol for love, beauty and compassion. Bringing change for a new world today and not waiting for tomorrow. To move forward without fear or violence whatsoever. ”
