Ghostly Image: The Three Sisters

    It´s been a while since I painted one of my ghostly images, and I hope you will like this one! It´s been inspired by the painting “Three Figures: Pink and Grey” by the American painter James Abbot McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). One of his most famous paintings is “Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1”,

Looking forward

It’s 2017! Let’s look forward to new horizons, possibilities, friends and more art! 🙂 My drawing is inspired by a print of an etching by James Whistler, “Count Burckhardt” (publ. 1862).  His impressive use of the chiaroscuro is very likely based on his studies of a collection consisting of Rembrandt prints, who, like Caravaggio, was

Contemplation

In everything I do, especially art, I can not help but letting my feelings and emotions be part of what I do… So, if I´m happy, the things I draw, paint or form of clay, are likely to represent this feeling in some form or other. The same goes for when I´m angry or anxious.

A Bashful Beauty

  I sketched this portrait with Audrey Hepburn in mind, an amazing actress I´ve always admired very much, not only for her stunning and elf-like beauty but for her tremendous skills as a dancer and actress.

This means that

Bow & Arrow

This is a new collaboration consisting of a new poem by my dear friend Syeda that she especially composed for this occasion and one of my drawings.     Forgotten art and hidden facts, You conceal my role and abilities. Always believed to be a man’s forte, You forget that it’s in my blood. My

Ghostly Image Come to Life (well, sort of;)

A couple of weeks ago I posted my ghostly image “The Silence” which was inspired by a painting of the same name by Henri Fuseli. Somehow I couldn´t let go of the image, it kind of lingered in my mind.   For that reason I decided to try something new and different, something that I´ve

Ghostly Image – Love

    My latest ghostly image “Love” has been inspired by a wonderful short story called “A Promise of Paradise” which I came across this highly fascinating blog “Cakeordeathsite” – please visit it! I find the story absolutely captivating and very intriguingly written. It´s lure reminded me of the works by Kafka and Stephen King.

A beautiful rear can also endear…
