  Cycle 01 - Oil - 80x60 cm

  STAGES

  Childhood, school days, wandering days, adulthood ...

  The content of our stages defines us.

  We think we're done with the theme, but when we least expect it the burning fire turns up again.

  When you look in the mirror you don't longer know who is looking back at you.

  Stages - Oil - 117x89 cm

  ABSURD DIALOGUE

  Two creatures from separate worlds.

  Two languages, two bodies.

  When I see, it is an absurd dialogue

  but the fruits are sweet and new.

  No one knows.

  Absurd Dialogue - Digital/oil - 70x60 cm

  Man, Nature - Oil - 110x80 cm

  UPBRINGING

  I am old now.

  I thought everything was behind me,

  but when I turn and look inward

  everything is still alive,

  my story, my upbringing.

  Yellow Dog - Digital/oil - 90x100 cm

  ASCENSION

  The house stands there, so full of

  promises and hopes, thoughts about immortality.

  Suddenly the boat is here with your picture in the sail,

  ready for ascension.

  RAINING LIGHT

  Some nights are so dark they swallow all hope, but that is when we see the weak light best.

  When we catch sight of the little drops that fall.

  When the hope returns and we are bathed in raining light.

  Raining Light - Oil - 120x60 cm

  BLESSED HOUSE

  It's when the days are so dark that

  there is no longer room for tears

  that the sun once again appears.

  When the heat fills my body, I feel blessed.

  My house is on a golden bough.

  Blessed House - Oil - 30x24cm

  THE JOURNEY STARTS

  Be brave. Build your boat on a mountain top. Look down at the city.

  And when the moment comes, set sail and leave everyday life behind.

  The adventure never starts if you don't build your boat

  on your mountain top.

  SMALL BIRD RELEASED

  You have lived with me for a long time.

  The borders between us have become unclear.

  For you to be yourself

  I must dare to release you.
