The Furies Trilogy
A closer look at the Fury paintings & why that last one was needed.
Wabi-sabi of the Ivory Tower
A deep review and interpretation of the painting “Wabi Sabi of the Ivory Tower”.
Surreal, Metaphorical, Large
Completed in May 2013, this was one of the most intense journeys towards a painting.
On Interpreting Art
Art interpretations, from the artist’s point of view.
Little Buddha
The model and the painting Vienna 2012.
The Golden Egg
A short story of a painting which didn’t want to get sold.
Zoom Out!
Some thoughts that, though unrelated, reminded me of my painting Zoom Out!
It survived!
This one was so close to dying, but it made it, against all odds. And I didn’t make it easy for it.
The Road Less Traveled
Drawing while traveling, drawing on my knees. I started this one in Italy, finished it in Spain.
Conjuring of Dreams
Goals which are out of reach at the moment are sometimes referred to as dreams. Some take this word too literally.
Beneath the Ivory Tower
A closer look at one of my larger paintings, incl. an interpretation.
Protector of Dreams
A drawing from a couple of years ago with a couple of dreamy, illuminating quotes…
Invisible Self-portrait
Sometimes I go on a journey, and sometimes I travel. What do I have to show for it? Many temporary invisible things.
Movie Recommendations: 101
There are movies which address things that are so important that one would hope them to be common knowledge, self-explanatory or a given, though that may not always be the case.
Diversity
Gazing into lush bushes, the variety of greens, wild individual shapes, all creating a harmonious grander picture, I was awakened from my entrancement with nature by a question.
The Painting That Opened a Door
In a way, “A Thought” reminds me of The Fool, the tarot card, though maybe not quite as hopeful yet. The timing was fitting, as The Fool marks the beginning of a journey, and, in a weird, bizarre way, so did this painting.
Reaching or Wherever I May Roam
I remember, “Ascension” was suggested as a title. Another title I had considered was “Wherever I may roam”.
Realms of Creation
There are different realms of creation, or different realms artists create from.
Outside of Time
Painting details, incl. a few seconds of a behind the curtain video.
Good Intentions – Not Just a Sketch
“But it means well” could be the title for this quick little sketch I created years ago:
Rise – A Story of Madness
If I were to start talking about this painting, and the time in which I created it, you’d think me mad. You wouldn’t be entirely wrong. For about a month, I was completely mad.
Rise II – The Journey
For now, I’ll skip many things that happened in the months after I painted Rise, and I’ll fast-forward to a faraway place, and life on the island. A tiny island in the Indian Ocean.
If You Prefer Spirals
If you prefer spirals to circles…
Be mindful not to get trapped in other people’s loops of suffering.
Art as a Rorschach Test
Art doesn’t change. Whether a painting, or a book, a movie, or even a piece of music, once created, it is finished, and yet, that is when its journey begins.
Accomplishments
Do you see all those little spheres, with all the individual accomplishments?
Solvar
Individually speaking, here is a Solvar. One of the Adumbrations, accompanied by a surreal text.
Visual Relics I
While I am still working on the ninth Adumbration, here is a selection of some of my older works, Visual Relics I.
Conflux – The Finished Painting & Details
The finished painting with several large painting details.
Processing the Journey
I have been drawing quite a lot on my last trip. Looking back at it, I was indubitably also processing some events that unfolded before my eyes.
How to have a Magical Conversation
A conversation between two people is a line. As beautiful, and as intimate as it can be, that’s not what this is about.
Gullibility
As ancient as it is, the mentioned project and its results are still not outdated, so it is an eternally important reminder.
Surreal Beans
Another one of my drawings created during the recent trip. No thought whatsoever went into this one. Surrealist automatism.
What Does This Mean?
Two drawings, some background music, and a book recommendation.
Let’s Not Flatter Ourselves
Have you ever wondered what I look like when I haven’t slept much, and I just woke up?
