Although I used in the past pastels, charcoal, ink, acrylics and even some oils, I am now focusing on painting with transparent watercolors on paper or yupo.
Many of my paintings depict hypothetical situations and imaginary scenes, striving to capture ideas and moods rather then a resemblance to specific places or people.
My favourite genre is surrealism, juxtaposing familiar elements with imaginary or abstract ones, in a dream like manner.
On occasion more than one way forward to express an idea or feeling suggest themselves. I like to explore these possibilities in different paintings and thus I have several ongoing themes.

Computer Graphics
I started using Poser and Vue mainly to set up virtual models and/or scenes which are then painted in watercolor. The CG images were supposed to be only an intermediate stage, but I now make these images a ’product ’ on their own accord.
