Medium: Oil on canvas, mixed media. Abstract expressionism

I am a self taught artist, but I joined a lot of good courses. I was primarily a writer, and I wrote, designed and published my own books of poetry, novels, essays, and also a spiritual magazine, Sophia. I am from Norway, but I live currently in Alfambras, Aljezur.

My favourite medium is oil, but I also work in different medias. I am inspired by the abstract expressionists; I love the complete freedom of expression, and it’s more or less always intuition that guides me.
