Current painting I'm working on: The Phoenix
This acrylic painting is inspired by the Boom Festival in Portugal and other events of 2022 of heat, transformation and mind expansion. It has taken me 87 hours of work so far and it's teaching me new lessons every day I get in front of the canvas.
I have never made a painting that has required this many sketches. I have to sketch and sketch and sketch again before putting actual paint on the canvas, trying out new ideas constantly. And even though this looks a lot like my very first original sketches, it keeps surprising me, taking me in new directions, still.
I expect to work on it for another 20 hours or so before it's done.
Getting ready for the vernissage
A selection of my paintings and art prints were exhibited at KAPAU, Gothersgade 105 in Copenhagen.
The vernissage was at May 6th 2022, and the paintings were exhibited until end of June. The prints and my selection of yoga mats could be bought at the shop.
Motivating yoga mats
This is the Backgammon for Aliens yoga mat - in use.
For me, doing yoga on these mats is highly motivating. The symmetrical hand-painted patterns mirror the slow work of aligning your body through the yoga stretches.
I have made three different yoga mats and I'm currently working on the painting that will turn into the fourth.
Close-ups and work in progress
Tiny details everywhere
Attention to detail. This is what the work process looked like about 7 hours before finishing The Garden.
Drawing with pen on white paper this late in the process (after 78 hours of work) is a thrilling experience. Mistakes are obviously not an option.
Spring feelings.
I have added tiny elements from computer games in many of my drawings, and there's a Space Invader hidden in this one.
I initially wanted to draw the main character from the Commodore 64 game Aztec Challenge, because my brother and I used to play that game a lot. But the Space Invader won.
Early work
I recently found a sketchbook with a bunch of drawings I did when I was 11. This one is called "The world seen through the eyes of the glasses of the wizard!" (including the exclamation mark). I am clearly the same person.
