I like paintings with a lot of texture because I think it makes them more vivid and interesting to look at. In my work I experiment with putty and layers of color to create the specific surface that I want. Acrylic paint that has a short drying time is what I use most frequently in the layering process.

When it comes to tools, I use whatever works best to achieve the expression I am aiming for. I use everything from pieces of cloth, plastics, spatulas, brushes, sponges and my hands. I almost always paint on deep gallery canvases as I think they do particularly well as decor.

My creation process is very intuitive. Although I often decide on a motif or combination of colors in advance, I never know exactly how the results will be.

I mainly paint abstract art, or semi-abstract works with silhouettes. My most common motifs are women, mainly women's bodies. The reason why this has become one of my main motifs is probably because I have been surrounded by many strong women during my childhood. I am also very proud to be a woman and believe in our strength, and I think that the female body is beautiful and sensual.

As a hard-working teacher, editor, woman, mother and partner, creating art is my break in the hectic everyday life. It's a moment that I get for myself, although my children often keep me company. My thoughts when I am in front of the canvas are only about color, texture and shape and on what I am creating.
