I
find inspiration for my colorful abstract
paintings in many different places. Not
least in the wild on trips and tours in the
Danish landscape.
The ideas often occur as a view I get of a
specific scenario with clear and colorful
shapes and color combinations.
To start the process I begin with a blank
canvas and select the colors, materials,
mediums and tools I will use. And then I
make a sketch of the scene on the canvas.
From here the design develops it’s struc-
ture and colors, until at some point I am
satisfied with the painting.

In this catalog I present photos of a selection of recent paint-
ings I’ve made. Combined with a little text about where the
inspiration came from.
I
t’s important for me that the finished
painting inspires curiosity. And draws
the viewer in, by continously revealing
new details in the artwork.
Therefore, I always try to get plenty of fine
details, depth, contrast and rich colors with
many shades in my paintings.

DEFLECTION I
80x180 cm
The painting has a mixture of light and dark colors, providing both sharp contrasts and
smooth transitions. Because of the very fine color layers, the artwork has a very fine texture.
Formed in the same pattern as the canvas.
The painting has a signicicantly depth with a myriad of small details and effects.
4. Art Book 2016 | 76 | Art Book 2016
The painting has a mix of light and
dark colors, and contrasts are clear
with sharp boundaries between
the colors.
The motive is purely abstract. The
idea for the painting is based on
a combination of special purple,
blue, green and red colors. The
color combination I have seen in a
villa garden on a walk.
INFINITY II

5. Art Book 2016 | 98 | Art Book 2016
DIVERSITY I
40x120 cm
The painting is made in bright colors, and it has a mix of sharp contrasts and colors that
slides easily into each other. In a combination of light and dark colors, in hot and cold tones.
There is a massive and strongly diversified structure, which gives an enormous depth with
plenty of shade effects and dramatic effects.

SOLAR STORM I
40x120 cm
There is a mixture of colors flowing into each other, and colors that are sharply separated.
The colors alternate between warm and cold hues that complement each other, so the
painting appears as a whole. The sharp contrasts are very fine, and the painting has count-
less small detailed lines.
7. Art Book 2016 | 1312 | Art Book 2016
The painting has strong colors,
giving an incredibly beautiful
variation. Colours and structure
supports each other, and resulting
in both flowing and sharp contrast
transitions.
The subject is an old gravel pit,
now converted into a recreational
area. With a lot of beautiful nature
,as wildlife, shrubs, trees and lakes.
The time is a sunny day in the
afternoon.

NATURE COLORS I
70x180 cm
The colors are dimmed and the transition between the contrasts are very fine with colors
that flow into each other.
The motive comes from a walk in the autumn, and reflect the play of colors that you find in
nature when the leaves on the trees begin to change colors.
9. Art Book 2016 | 1716 | Art Book 2016
The colors are strong with a big
variety, and they are kept in a mix
of cold and warm tones. There are
both clear and smooth contrasts
with colors that flow into each
other.
The idea comes from a bike ride
on a vacation on Bornholm. It
shows the play of colors in nature.
From an open landscape where
fields, ditches and hedges has a
great color variation with lots of
fresh flowers.

STORM I
40x120 cm
The colors are a mix of very light and very dark colors. Mainly kept in cold shades of the
warm colors for contrast. There is very strong contrasts between light and dark colors. It is
combined with nice little hues.
The idea for the design comes from a windy day with a mixture of heavy cloud cover, and
small rays of sunlight in between the skies.
11. Art Book 2016 | 2120 | Art Book 2016
The painting has many bright
colors, changing in light and dark
areas in a mixture of smooth and
sharp contrasts. The bottom has a
varied texture in thick layers, and
it gives great depth with shadows
and fine details.
It is a purely abstract idea behind
the design: With beautiful color
combinations that combine light
and dark areas with differences in
the texture.
DIVERSITY II
100x100 cm
12. Art Book 2016 | 2322 | Art Book 2016
The painting has bright colors with
fine nuances. And contrasts that
flow smoothly into the tones and
stands out sharply compared to
the other colors.
The idea came on a bike ride on
early evening. It shows a suburb,
as it looks when the afternoon
is dimming. The color tones gets
slowly darker and the shadows
longer.
