My drawings encompass a spectrum from autonomous artworks to preparatory sketches and illustrations for various projects, each approached with a contextually specific methodology. Within my artistic practice, I emphasize drawing as an independent and self-sufficient medium.
My drawing practice explores both traditional and experimental techniques, using graphite, charcoal, pastels, chalk, and ink. Ranging from monochrome to works with subtle or contrasting colors, my drawings go beyond representation to capture an essence or feeling. The process involves an intuitive balance between structure and spontaneity, where control and freedom intersect, aiming to maintain a vibrant, dynamic presence in the lines and surfaces.
In my artistic practice, recurring themes frequently engage with the concept of identity as it interacts with its environment, both in literal and poetic dimensions. This exploration considers how identity is constructed and negotiated within its physical, social, and emotional landscapes, while also addressing the tensions and transformations that arise through these interactions. My work reflects on the dynamic processes through which identity is continually shaped, challenged, and redefined in response to these multifaceted contexts.

Ongoing project:
«The Potential of Rejected Ideas» is an art project taking the form of a drawn sculptural installation. The installation consists of 10 meters of drawing paper crumpled up and shaped into a kind of ball. Various drawn motifs in different sizes can be seen in the different folds/curls. Some motifs clearly stand out, while others are hidden. Some motifs are fragmented, detached drawings that are incorporated or taped onto the crumpled paper ball.
«The Potential of Rejected Ideas» aims to create a dialogue around the potential in what is often considered failed or discarded ideas. By challenging the viewer to see the value in these ideas, the project aims to inspire a culture that embraces experimentation and risk-taking as a path to innovation.
The art project challenges the traditional interpretation of drawing by incorporating traditional paper drawing as a foundation and creating an organic connection between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional. In this way, the audience is challenged to redefine the relationship between flat surfaces and three-dimensional form. The artwork invites reflection and discussion on the unpredictability of the creative process and its transformative power.
«The Potential of Rejected Ideas» seeks to promote critical reflection on society’s tendency to dismiss ideas that do not immediately prove viable. By exploring the potential creative opportunities in what has previously been rejected, the art project aims to contribute to a culture that values experimentation, failure, and learning as an integral part of the innovation process.
In today’s society, characterized by rapid technological development and complexity, the ability to rediscover, challenge, and integrate rejected ideas is crucial for innovation. This art project seeks to reflect the contemporary need to embrace diverse perspectives. It underscores the importance of seizing the opportunities inherent in rejected ideas to shape a more holistic and innovative future. «The Potential of Rejected Ideas» thus positions itself within a larger conceptual framework of creative rebirth, iteration, and recycling.
