WALL PAINTING

My art implies a confidence in the power of abstraction, the complex and subtle, where something un articulate in us is met with an inspiring energy. With my art, I want to move the viewer with my worldview of nature in man – and the human being in nature. It is a story that we humans are nature and part of a complicated universal pattern in which the surroundings on an energy level merge with the senses, emotions and thoughts.

We move in the science art category (SciArt), where I investigate and express something about the world. I reduce a scientific or aesthetic concept down to fewer and simpler elements to investigate a lot more closely. I use this reductionist approach in my art in both form and colour, where I examine individual components to uncover a more complex phenomenon. I seek to elicit a sensual and emotional realization in the viewer.

In my art, I take advantage of nature's flow, where large amounts of water make shapes liquid and vibrant. I use the laws of nature to create movements and crackles. Ramifications emerge as new beginnings and follow the universal pattern of a fractal stud shooting. The cells are the building blocks of nature and the foundation of all life. All living things are made up of cells. The human body is constantly changing from the first cell formation, where the stem cells are the basis of our complex organism.

I see the world holistically with a focus on the whole. Man and everything in the world is inextricably linked. I am fascinated by the patterns and connections of nature between micro- and macrocosm. The patterns in nature are repeated in a fractal geometry, where they are embedded in each other and repeated in large and small. The fractal patterns apply both to nature's simple organisms and to the more complex ones, and thus also apply to us humans.

In quantum physics, we have learned that all we thought was physical is energy. Everything in the universe consists of intangible energy, and everything radiates energy. A work of art – and also colors exude energy. But also any sense, emotion, thought or life-depletion is a result of energy. Our minds live and gain daily energy from our surroundings and with my art, I want to contribute with a sensual stimuli, an inspiring energy and perhaps even new realizations.

I have painted murals in many private homes. A mural is a little different from a painting, as it is not limited to a canvas, but can wind over corners and ceilings. A mural is suitable as decoration in a hallway area, where there is not much space, and also works well in both kitchens and bathrooms. Here you can see some of the artistic tasks I have painted in private homes.

Painting painted on wall

A mural is a painting that is painted directly on a wall or an outdoor wall (here it is also called a mural). The term mural also covers when it is painted on a door, a column, a ceiling or other surfaces. The mural is painted directly on the wall and thus becomes an integral part of the building or room to which the wall belongs. These are therefore site-specific works that relate to the place in which it is to fit. The mural is probably the oldest form of art, dating back to cave paintings and rock paintings that were painted on cave or rock walls in prehistoric times. The oldest known murals are approximately 32,000-year-old cave paintings in the French Grotte Chauvet. The cave paintings often showed wild animals and were made by carving into the rock wall and painting with dye.

My murals are painted in the same style as my paintings. However, they have a twist, as a mural for me should be a little lighter and simpler in expression when painted on a very large surface. When the mural is painted on a colored wall, it becomes more prominent in expression. I love it when the mural wraps around corners or over ceilings, and smaller artistic elements integrate into the space and become part of something larger. A mural is very suitable in places where you want a light, airy expression. It is very suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and stairwells, as well as small rooms where not too much can happen.

I paint both indoor and outdoor murals.

I paint murals throughout Denmark and abroad.

I paint murals both in private homes and in businesses. Murals in restaurants, hotels and clinics and also large murals in hospitals and other public buildings.

When I paint murals, you can make your own wishes regarding colors, shapes and specific elements.

I offer professional murals with art painted directly on the wall. I paint in private homes, businesses, restaurants, hotels, as well as in public institutions such as hospitals, residences, schools and senior centers.

Motifs painted directly on the wall contribute atmosphere and poetry to the interior design.

I always offer to give a presentation on the mural. If desired, the atmosphere and details of the mural can be created in collaboration with the staff, residents, patients.

I paint murals both indoors and outdoors. Indoors, I paint the mural with acrylic paint. If it is to be painted in a bathroom or in a kitchen, I mix a painting medium into the paint, which makes it more durable and can withstand high humidity, in the same way as when you choose a more high-gloss paint for better washability. If the wall is impregnated to be water-repellent, I need to know before I show up, as it requires some special painting techniques to make the paint bond to the wall. If it is to be painted outdoors, it depends on the material to be painted on. If it is wood, the paint will be applied with clear varnish as a final protective layer. Outdoor murals are also called wall paintings and gable paintings.
