I always try to bring out an idea or a concept with my works. In my opinion if a work of art can bring up something that you don’t usually think about you will get a new experience and maybe reflect upon what you have seen.The strength with the way I work might be that my works are visually interesting; my main focus when it comes to the actual making of a work is the aesthetics of it but nonetheless how much potential it has. I never make something without thinking of its potential.I think I have faced problems that most artists face. I can honestly say that I am never content with what I do because before I finish something I already have a new idea that is going to be much better. So it’s a never-ending process that takes a lot of work. But at the same time the difficulty of it is what makes it interesting at the end of the day.I have tried to combine a lot of aspects and medias in solving weaknesses with my art, if for example I make a painting that I don’t find particularly good, I might make a digital version of it and try to combine them in some way. Its all about thinking ahead.Media, books, architecture, nature, design have all influenced me. In many ways I’m a slave to what I see around me and my art is a projection of that. I have studied different techniques and styles in art which has given me a broad knowledge in different art types.My works are all to some extent an experiment with medias and techniques, not only to give them another dimension but also to find myself in my work. A photograph gives a different kind of experience but it doesn’t make it less real. I would never be afraid of being moved by anything just because it comes to me via the digital realm. There was still a breath at the other end. there was a reality, intention and possibly a reaction at the root of the artists creation.
