How would you describe yourself and your artwork?
I use colors instead of words to express feelings and how I experience the nature in my art.
There are often leaves in my sculptures, I like leaves .
Where do you get your inspiration from?
By walking in the woods or by the sea. Water inspires me as well as studying people.
What emotions do you hope the viewers experience when looking at your art?
Happiness and mystery.
When do you know that an artwork is finished ?
I don't.
What has been the most exciting moment in your art career so far?
Being invited to events with other artists where we get appreciation for our work. For example This week I am in Milan for a bookrealese and an exhibition. It is exciting.
How long does it take to produce one work?
1-6 month
