More Works: [x]

This is a real time recording of me improvising to five songs from Nightwish's Imaginaerum, while I am hearing them for the very first time!  It was really fun to do, because I was mostly playing without care.

For more of my works: [x]

This painting is quite small (smaller than A5 I believe) with miniature details, which you see enhanced here. I used tiny brushes to make it and applied the paint in many thin layers. I would have wished to show you the physical piece. Unlike big paintings, you need to hold this close to you and get closer and closer to see each detail. I love that.

I am immensely captivated by early Renaissance landscape art. How they paint each tree and rock, the bizarre architecture, the blue mountains far away, the silence and magic… It just feels like somewhere I know and very real. This is a painting that come about because of those feelings.

Sadly I still lack a name for it. Well, maybe...

Castle of Alchemists, 2020

The vulnerable truth beneath...

Ice Queen

Sometimes the art process takes me nowhere near my own personal look on art. 

This particular image started out with me painting a red circle, and continued without my own will. This is how it goes:  There is a direct instruction in my head to paint a certain color in a certain shape in a certain place. After I do that, I get the second instruction that may appear very clearly or sometimes rather blurry. 

Step by step I follow out this out of nowhere input, and I don’t judge whatever it may be doing. It is as though of I am not creating the image myself, but recreating an already existing image. 

When I finish, I am unsure whether I actually like what comes out, since I never included my own taste and interest in it anyway. But I still pay it much respect since it comes from the other side with a reason.

From the deeps he comes. From the darkness he teaches the secret of love. Those who desire light know him not.
