"I enjoy creating all kinds of art, whether to be mounted on a wall, on the pages of a book or displayed on a computer screen. In my portraits the individual is in an unusual or ideal surrounding, where it has a special meaning to the person portrayed and where the whole painting tells a story. Vivid colors and a sense of movement are a constant in my work. I like to experiment with shapes and colors and present unexpected situations, often with a dash of humor, bringing a smile to others is always highly rewarding".
