The art is the aflouting life
It is written about me in an swedish artdictionary that I paint autobiographic. That is some truth with modification. My life is more likely the art, because I chose to live in an a expressive way and that is the art I create. The paintings are an afterconstruction and a rexflexion of the life I live, and that Life is the real art for mee. My painting is only commentary of the expressive life I chose to live.
Painting as a lifestyle
For mee is it a personal option for every person who wants to live and paint expressive. It is a chose for every individual souls freedom above the humane reason. Even the famous philosopher Nietzsche had dubts about if we can reach the truth about the word only through our human reason. That is why I think it is important to search for answers about life and death in a expressive attitude towards life. I chose to create my life in a expressive way and that is my art and then I make comments about my life in my paintings and artpieces.
Expressionism
I started paint when I was about twenty years old and I paint in a modernistic expressive tradition. With predecessors as the artists Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch, but my art are more in an american expressive tradition then an european tradition.
The american expressionism painters as Elaine de Kooning, Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock is my prime models as an artist. And my largest inspirition right now do I find in artists as Bruce Robbins(american) and Erland Cullberg(swedish).
