”Mitt​ ​konstnärskap​ ​är​ ​koncentrerat​ ​på̊​ ​djuptryck​ ​inom​ ​koppargrafik. Jag​ ​har arbetat​ ​och​ ​fördjupat​ ​mig​ ​i​ ​det​ ​området​ ​sedan​ ​1995​. Tekniker​ ​jag​ ​använder​ ​mestadels​ ​är​ ​etsning​ ​och​ ​torrnål. Naturen​ ​är​ ​min​ ​inspiration​. Växters​ ​rörlighet​ ​och​ ​skogens​ ljusspel.”

” My artistry is concentrated on intaglio within copper plate printing. I have worked and immersed myself in that area since 1995. The technics I use mostly are etching and drypoint. Nature is my inspiration. The mobility of plants and the play of light of the forest. “
