The so far biggest collection of my portrait paintings is showing how i dealt with feelings, mixing mine with others’; painting away the extra layer with “self” portraiture.
To the Exhibition –>
Over the past decade, it must have been about 10 years ago, that I started creating self portraits, trying to understand my feelings, freeing myself from the intensity I experienced in relationships and wondering why none of my paintings really showed me. Empathy is one of my biggest skills; I later understood and the portraits show this quality we all possess: when in intimate or personal encounters; we meet each other in our energies and feelings, deeper than words can understand. We affect one another. Thus the images do show me, but as covered with an extra layer of those I met.
Most of the images were already purchased by friends. Yet if you wish to have a print – feel free to contact me. Some of the originals are still available.
Please note that the size in this exhibition is not exact, and we can find one that suits your need if you are interested in having a print.
You can receive more detailed information upon request per e-mail.
