“My entire life, I have been searching for a mental quiet place, I have been able to find it in nature, especially in the Ocean, where I dived to the bottom, holding my breath for as long as possible, I found freediving which was such a calm place for my mind, even though my body was struggling for air, the mind was able to control it, and every other thought just disappeared out of my mind.
Holding my breath underwater actually let me to a spot in the Danish national team in freediving, where I have been competing in the World Championships several times.
When I stopped competing, I needed a break from freediving, so naturally I searched for a new ‘quiet place.’
I tried playing with canvases and colors, never thinking that I could be creative – I had never been.

“Since my art is an expression of my emotions, it means so much to me.
A single piece is a reminder of that exact emotion and situation, maybe it is inspired by a person and then the art bring back memories with this person.
An example of this could be the two paintings that I made 1 and 2 years after my cousin committed suicide – I was very close with him and of course it was extremely painful.
But he was much more than that suicide, and the paintings reminds me of the memories, the travels, all the laughs etc.”

But once again, my mind became quiet, I was able to be with the art, and just the art, be with the colors, the feelings and the entire process. It was supposed to be just my place, and not to invite anyone in there – but a very good friend of mine, kept saying that my art should out, touch people, make people smile etc.
I was thinking about this for 6 months, and then decided to show the world my art – and that was the first step.”

“My art is always an expression of my current mood, if I am happy that is the energy I go with, if I’m in love, I will follow that energy etc.
I have tried planning doing stuff, but it never feels right.
I have to be totally free with my mind, no control from the outside that will make med stop and think, I need to feel every inch that I make on the canvas.
I often feel that I am going to a blank canvas with a mind that is very full and busy, and then I empty my mind on the canvas.
You can almost say it is my therapy room or my boxing ball.”
