The modern images of saints?
I don't know what I'm doing, when I'm painting. I may ask questions but do not give answers. I have no answers. I go with the flow. This is my idea of self-expression.
Ludwig Wittgenstein: The words of (private) language are to refer to what can be known only to the speaker; to his immediate, private, sensations. So another cannot understand the language. There cannot be such a language. If it could, then THIS would be my private language.
From abstract forms to figurative realism. Im inspired by body art and its exploration of objectified human form, transgression of body's limits. The solitude and individuality of pain. A love of excess with reference to to ecstasy and decadence. Theese pictures seem to be faceless portraits, stories about everyone, or rather no-one. They appear as a defence reaction. They immortalise what one would see rather supressed, hidden, restrained, but what is still present and obvious in modern world.
Apart from painting Im also tattooist and body-modification artist.
