Intellectual Freedom II, 2026

Acrylic paint, oil paint and gouache on a preprocessed wooden panel in a wooden frame. Return to simplicity and tranquillity. I have recently come to know for sure that I too am surrounded and influenced by unrest, and that is why it feels like a form of meditation to once again create calm, sensitive, meditative works that I hope give viewers a good feeling. In my latest paintings, I try to convey to viewers the feelings I have and notice while painting and composing the works. I achieve the compositions, and especially the colour nuances, by working layer by layer until I reach a point where I am satisfied, while also knowing that my painting is not finished. I hope to give the works of art a story together with the viewers that can be different for every viewer or buyer.
