«This is my history about landscapes, and my own meetings with nature. The questions I ask are whether it´s possible to explore more in different ways. To me, it´s interesting to study all the variations. My work and expression change from being story telling to descriptive of state. The process is systematic and structured, but also contemplative. I strive to be clear and precise describing what´s interesting to me: distance/depth/spatiality, rhythm and energy.»
