I grew up just north of Copenhagen to the shrieks of seagulls harmonizing with forlorn foghorns echoing their warnings across the Øresund Straight between Denmark and Sweden.

Perhaps that is why the sound and light of the ocean have always held such power over me.

Although a true Viking in most matters, I must admit that I prefer the warm tints and soothing breezes of the Caribbean.

What fascinates me about waterscapes is the challenge of capturing the three fields of light and hues: sky… water… land. The way they interrelate and reflect is an ever-changing ballet, and the sound of the waves are its music.

A sunset sky or the turbulent waves of a storm often act as the inspiration for my seascapes by their sheer drama and power to enthrall.

The ocean surges in contrasting aqua hues. The sunsets explode with vibrant and golden glows.

When painting, my time is transformed into endless space of color and hues, and it seems as if I enfold a part of nature into myself.
