A line is made of many little dots but the speed of looking at immediatly build up a shape of line.

The line gives me a great fascination, it is not the line which has a begining or an eind, or a line which is connecting between  two points, or lines which are forming a shape or causing a shadow, it is about the space inbetween the lines.  Actually the visible lines gives us a glimpse of that transparent space.

I work primarily on a monochromatic surface, on a linen or cotton canvas, with several subtle thin layers of acrylic/pigment, layer by layer -   I call it the subtle layering of perception. Multiple subtle layers of perception on top of each other , this kind of drawing is  actually  the starting point for the beginning of the  line drawing, drawn by graphite/pencil, both the layers and the line are forming an intense perception of space. The material in itself and the manipulation of the canvas present a new challenge each time.

Simplicity and clarity are found in an extensive and lengthy painting process: The line grows out of this complex process in a contemplative atmosphere. Perhaps is the process of painting as complex as the effort of the viewer to open up to the contemplative content.

I consider my work as to be a reflection for this time with its rapidly changing images. My work call for slowing down.
