My work stems from a fascination with how we, as modern humans, experience the world – often through filters such as the screens of our mobile phones or the panes of a window. I am drawn to the tension between the near and the distant, the physical and the digital, nature and technology.

I take my starting point from my own everyday life, exploring how I perceive reality – through a car window, a phone screen, or an open window. Often, it begins with a moment of curiosity, which I develop into a conceptual framework before creating a series of paintings.

In my Passenger series, I explore how much of my time is spent on the move, with nature existing only as something I glimpse through a car window. In Around the World in One Day, I question whether a virtual journey can truly replace a physical one. In Algorithm Reality, I depict the fleeting content I spend my time viewing on my phone.

Blinded Moments and Supermoon revolve around nature’s rhythms and our longing for light and openness. While Blinded Moments focuses on the intimate and sensory – a door left ajar, a window in the Danish summer heat – Supermoon points towards the distant and cyclical. The moon’s movement becomes a metaphor for our need for patterns and meaning – a kind of natural system in contrast to the digital ones we surround ourselves with.

I have also been drawn to the more private aspects of our homes – yet still seen through a filter. This became the Carpe Diem series, in which all the paintings are based on my friends’ photos of their unmade beds.

The expression in my paintings is both expressive and figurative. My palette is rich in contrasts, allowing complementary colours to collide. The paintings combine clarity with a more sketch-like quality. This sketch-like element represents possibility, openness, lightness – a space for interpretation and for new paths to emerge.

Supermoon
I have found it artistically compelling to depict something regular that also contains so much variation within a single year. The moon can remind us of the cyclical nature we are all part of – even if we sometimes forget it in our hectic, technological world.
A special phenomenon is the supermoon, which occurs when the moon is closer to Earth in its orbit. At such times, it can shine up to 30% brighter than usual. I wanted to recreate this extraordinary natural and cyclical phenomenon, as I believe it can remind us of nature’s power and its lesson

Around the World in One Day

My social media use has been the focus of several of my paintings. It plays such a large role in most people’s daily lives, and I believe it affects us more than we realise. In Around the World in One Day, I explored whether I could, with full engagement, paint landscapes I had only ever seen on my phone screen – landscapes selected for me by Instagram’s algorithm.
The icons of social media are therefore just as important in these works as the landscapes themselves.

Algorithm Reality
The series of algorithm-selected landscapes has since evolved, and I have gone on to paint everything I encounter in my mobile newsfeed – advertisements, art, films, sport. I bring this fleeting, personally tailored content into a lasting physical form. I am interested in how our shared reality is shaped when algorithms decide what I see – and it is not the same as what you see. The series is titled Algorithm Reality, and although it consists of many paintings in different formats, I view them as a single, unified work.

Passenger
The Passenger serie is based on my car journeys, where nature is seen from a distance. The perspective is that of the front-seat passenger, sitting inside the car and looking out. The windscreen, with its parking stickers and GPS reflections, frames the view. The road and the landscape whirl past and dissolve in motion.
