“Windows”, oil and pencil on wood panel, 35 x 25 cm, 2017.
The facade of a building is a sort of skin for it. A dress, a kind of embroidery where the alternation of elements (full and empty, windows, materials, structural and decorative elements) gives a different rhythm every time. In my travels I always wonder if it is possible to discover this rhythm and its variations, and if it is specific for that place, or whether modernity has made us all irreparably the same. But probably behind this interest there is also a sort of voyeurism. Who lives in these rooms? Which eyes glance from there? What kind of stories and tragedies hide in those houses?
These first three paintings are based on street views from Copenaghen, the next last three are based on street views from Berlin. Some of these artworks have been sold already. Contact me in case you want to know which ones are still available or just in case you want to know more about my work!
