"Toward the horizon" is one of my large abstract paintings with a light and airy summer atmosphere. On a light beige background a botanical universe unfolds — moss green plants, flowers and bees in an organic and vibrant pattern. My small female figure is included — she holds a branch with flowers and looks out towards the horizon. A quiet and poetic gesture in the midst of nature's multitude.
The female figure recurs in many of my paintings. She is not a specific person but a voice — someone who observes and is part of the universal pattern between man and nature. It is the core of my artistic universe.
I paint with acrylic paint from Golden on hand-built canvases from Vindelev Blindrammefabrik and always finish with two layers of varnish that protects against sunlight and dust. This painting is stretched on an extra deep 4 cm blind frame — the motif continues out to the sides, which gives a beautiful effect when you view the painting from the side.
The size of 110x180 cm makes it a natural centerpiece in the living room — especially beautiful above a wide sofa or along a long sideboard. The bright and botanical expression fits well with Scandinavian and Nordic decor and bright rooms with natural materials.
The painting is available in three versions: without frame, with oak frame or with black frame.
With its calm green and earthy tones, “Beyond the Visible” creates a special sense of peace and contemplation. The wide format of 110 x 180 cm makes the painting well suited as a statement piece on larger walls, where it has space to unfold. The artwork works particularly well above a three-seater sofa, a large corner sofa, or a dining table measuring 200–300 cm, where the organic shapes and harmonious colors can bring the room together and create a beautiful, atmospheric whole.
Well suited for:
- Large living rooms and open living spaces
- Open-plan kitchens and dining areas
- Above a three-seater sofa
- Above a large corner sofa
- Above a light-colored sofa in grey, white or beige
- Above a dark sofa in brown, dark grey, charcoal grey or black
- Above a dining table or long dining table
- Modern Nordic interiors
- Homes featuring wood, oak, walnut and natural stone
- Bright rooms with calm, muted colors
- Minimalist interiors that need warmth and depth
- Interiors where the artwork is intended to serve as the natural focal point of the room
Works particularly well with walls in:
- White and off-white
- Brown, mocha, dark green, olive and grey
- Sand and beige tones
- Muted earthy colors
- Light shades
- Limewashed walls with a natural finish
