Beginning in 2014 I turned my attention to interiors and how they were furnished. I was not so much interested in the design aspect of people’s homes as in the clues they provided to the lives being lived within them. I came to the realization that my many photographs of interior spaces taken in previous years had actually been motivated by an unconscious desire to understand the significance that lay hidden in the way individuals shaped their private environments.

Interiors mirror people’s deepest feelings and impulses – their hopes, fantasies, aspirations and, even, their sense of humour. They are self-portraits, carefully thought-out compositions expressing the many sides of a personality. A casual observer will not be unaffected either. The interior will speak to his, or her subconscious, causing him, or her to feel at home and secure in the setting, or ill at ease and out of place. And though each of us may respond quite differently, an immediate emotional response of one sort or another is practically unavoidable.

The titles of my paintings reflect my own responses to the scenes depicted in them. Human figures appear only infrequently. Yet their tangible presence, even when they themselves are physically absent, is clearly felt.

Mine billeder
Hjem – historier – forgængelighed – moment- lys –mønstre- farver-
Mine billeder undersøger det personlige rum. Jeg maler interiør, som et indblik i den ramme vi giver vores liv. Interiør som en anden mode hvor på jeg kan male en livsfortælling.
Jeg seer hjem som et spejl af den personlighed vi er, det sted vi kommer fra, de fortællinger vi bærer med os og det sted vi ønsker at bevæge os hen til.
Malerierne udleverer min begejstring for tekstil, kunsthåndværk og daglig dags genstande, såvel som min fryd over farver og lys.
Boliger i mine malerier er sande, men vinklerne skæve og usædvanligt. De livs fortællinger vi skaber, de relationer vi lever i – manifestere sig også i vores indretning.
Som betragter træder jeg ind i de andres rum og genkender nogle dele af deres fortælling.
Vi har været her, vi er kommet på en rejse, vi har mødt nogle mennesker og har opbevaret minder i vores familier.
Jeg tager ofte mange fotografier, når et rum eller en fortælling inspirerer mig.
Disse fotografier danner udgangspunkt for mit arbejde med maleriet og min bearbejdning af fortællingen.
