This painting was painted while in an apartment on the 16th floor in Kuala Lumpur, during the spring of 2020. It felt far from simple. At this point I was guided by fear. What would happen to the world? Well I am not going to go into a list of everything that I feared, we all have a long list. For the first time in my lifetime, and maybe for all of us we shared a fear that is truly global. Is it not strange that while feeling really stuck at that point of time, I somehow foun

Right now I am literally bathing in the colors of autumn. Colors and nature can have a profound impact on our wellbeing. If you have the chance I would suggest taking a color bath this upcoming weekend. To get the full effect don't put in earphones. Try instead to notice with all your senses.

Yesterday we had a workshop in Karlstad, Sweden using creative meditation and inspiration from two masters of creating art beyond what you can see to infinity. Hilma af Klint was born in 1862 and painted until she passed 1944. On some of her paintings, she made a mark that they should bot be shown until 20 years after her passing. She started out as a landscape and portrait painter but became interested in spiritualism as a teenager, and later formed the group called the "fem

A feeling of gratitude and joy at the bookfair in Karlstad. Finally I can hold the book in my hand and read it on a screen. It is done. Most people that pick it up says that it is heavy and solid.
