Through painting I aim to capture the essence of consciousness by exploring the delicate balance between mind, body, thoughts and feelings. By utilising the juxtaposition of haptic and meticulous paint and drawing techniques, the paintings serve as a visual representation of the intricate interplay between our mental and physical realms, and serve as a testament to the connection between art and soul.
Beyond Blue is a painting series that explores the flow of nature and the connection between spirit and land. Inspired by the atmospheric blues encountered in the mountains, fjords, and coastal landscapes of Finland and Norway, the works evoke a sense of seasonal ambiguity, where summer oceans and winter waters coexist within the same visual field. Through layered washes of blue and the deliberate use of pigment pen, the artist introduces traces of human touch that move across the surface like tides, currents, and shifting weather patterns. The resulting compositions invite contemplation of the interconnected relationship between landscape, memory, and embodied experience.
