About author
I am a wayfaring painter.
My paintings are usually based on watercolours made on site during my walks and travels. When painting outdoors, the authentic experience of the site and time is essential. The sketch or watercolour should invoke the time spent by watching and walking, even searching through the wilderness. Sometimes I also make open air acryl paintings. I am limited only by the size of canvas I can carry myself.
The work in open air is specific because you are subject to changes of light and weather. However, the more traces of rain or frost the watercolours show, the more they mediate the authentic experience. Although I work in conditions that keep changing, it´s not the impression of a moment what I seek. Rather, I search for something stable despite all the changes: order and harmony.
