this work concerns ocean acidification. as a lover of the world’s oceans, I want to highlight climate change, atmospheric warming, and its impact on the sea and land. let’s never forget how our activities also cause urgent problems with far-reaching consequences for marine life.
resin and inks on wooden canvas, 30 x 30 cm
lichen and moss in lapland.
tiny acrylic paintings embedded in resin spheres, on wooden canvas (40 x 40 cm).
déjà vu 1.
mixed media: bio resin, inks, acrylics and neodym magnets on ferromagnetic steel/wooden frame (40x40x5cm). a déjà vu is a very enigmatic, crazy adventure indeed. a phenomenon that seems inaccessible, abnormal and really weird to those who have never experienced it. how does that come out? there are so many theories, but we are still a long way from really understanding the origin of the déjà vu experience. so, this sensation still retains its mystical aura…honestly, don’t you think, some mysteries are better left unsolved 🤔😉 SOLD
déjà vu 2. (customer order – sold)
déjà vu 3.
a new work in process (150 x 50 cm).

I call this work „the blue hour“ in lapland. tiny acrylic paintings embedded in resin spheres, on wooden canvas (80 cm).
my title has nothing to do with sadness, but with the magical colours of the polar night: around and above the arctic circle, polar night starts at the end of november and lasts some 52 days. sometimes from 10 o’clock in the „morning“ the magic works its wonders in blue. a few hours later the stars begin their twinkling, and night falls…at 2.00 in the afternoon 🌟 SOLD
my science – my cells (13): maybe my crazy neurons during the experiment with new materials 😂😂 not sure, if i should go on…? mixed media with resin, embedded in plywood (40 x 40 cm).
my science – my cells (8): working in concert with one another…to keep outside out, allow necessities in, permit others to leave . the idea to have in the cells a mirror of the circle of live fascinates me!! now that i am in lapland – until ending of august – i feel how these fellows do their job with renewed vigour 😂 mixed media, inter alia airbrush colours, acrylics, resin, embedded in plywood (40 x 40 cm). i love to mix „science“ and emotions in my works!!
lapland impressions (6) – frosty. this work came to life last summer in my cottage in lapland: an experiment in highly playful way…and it was such fun working with these materials 🙌 mixed media: alcohol inks, alu-foil, layered resin on ceramic and wood.
lapland impressions: colours and sentiments, running down my spine. mixed media: alcohol inks, resin etc. on ceramic and wood. (sold)
„should i stay or should i go“: acrylic on canvas (100×100 cm). yeah, the universe beneath us is incredible, fantastic in its abundance and variety…i love the swirling amongst the fishswarm while painting in half-trance – and whilst diving in a real, deep sea…(this one was a commissioned work and i had to struggle a very long time until i could even start, but then, it was really flowing. anytime i swear, never again a custom order…till i do it again…😱 (ps: sorry, after posting this work, i realized that the painting was already released earlier !!)
the work was born last summer (2017) in my cottage in finland/lapland, some 200 kilometers to the north of the arctic circle. i had kind of home chemistry over there, experimenting with different materials: acrylic paints, inks, chemicals, water and fire… i really could enjoy painting to the fullest, ‚cause the sun didn’t set… mixed media: layered bioresin with acrylics, inks, metallic pigments etc. on metal.
