A native Norwegian residing in Scotland UK, I blend a sensuous yet stark painting-technique inspired by the Caravaggisti and the Spanish Tenebrists with the darkly poetic traditions of the North. This synthesis of elements creates a somewhat haunting atmosphere which is a remniscent factor in my work.

My chosen subject matters are mainly still frames appropriated from films by directors who themselves are inspired by painters, hence completing a full cycle of the wheel of art-historical evolution which I feel privileged to be a part of.

I believe there is a fascinating quality to motion-frames that captures and mirrors the twilight of existence and non-existence in a specific way, which cannot be found by means of composed still photography or through the vividness of real-life observation. As an artist I seek to explore, evoke and to express this quality which ultimately reaches beyond film and into the unknown.
