Text about my works
In my work I incorporate a sharp social critique, which focuses on social and cultural traumas rather than on private issues. This is the dark site of the consumer society we all live in. To be exceedingly comical, burlesque, dark humor has the subversive edge. I like grotesque aesthetics.
My works are very close to filmstills, I like modern theater and when I´m painting I slip into a role to imagine and create the strange creatures I paint in my work.
Sometimes the same idea pops up less unchanged year after year. This repetition and recycling reflects the open attitude to the works - they are in a state of transformation.
Every paintinmg deals with several of the themes I process throughout my work. There is the anthropomorphism of in my work, but also thoughts, feelings and ideas - from outside the world.
In my paintings I have Comic characters and stereotypes which enable me to assume a persona - a role while painting.
The titles of my pictures are elements of the painting, the words function as a visual element, not as a caption.
Sometimes my works are zoomed on destructive art, where creating and destroying coincide.
