“Inspiration is created by a colour phenomenon that triggers a response in you. It is followed by a chain reaction of ideas, which quite often leads to a melancholy emotion or a memory. Occasionally, the idea will come full circle and return to its original form, colour. Colour has much to say to me in its own language. This is why I use this mighty weapon with great care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to tell myself for a long time that my inhibited negative emotions function as the most significant propellant in my work. But I suppose that’s not entirely true. When you make pictures, you experience many feelings of happiness – a longing for beauty and the sentimentality of yearning. Dream- ing, visions in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started to become introverted after my childhood, and perhaps I have remained that way. Making pictures (which I didn’t call art back then) was no longer a way to express myself. It was a way to make myself visible”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kammari series tells about an old house in H\u00e4me. It is a dialogue between nostalgia and history. Cozy and threatening memories collide in scenes built according to vague memory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
