Unity


Working with AI as an artist's tool is often as much about curating as it is about creating. This picture is based on perhaps a thousand images that I have created, viewed, and selected elements from.


The culmination is this single motif that conveys exactly the mood I intended it to have, while also featuring a composition that is pleasing to the eye without being too straightforward. To me, 'Unity' expresses the hope, calmness, and comfort found in the encounter between nature and humankind.

However, that doesn't have to be the only truth. The final interpretation belongs, as always, to you, the viewer.

Dinner is served


The daily meals are a well-known situation, but here it is a little twisted. The girl sitting at the dining table, with a resigned look on her face, the table set with something that only barely fits the most generous description of a meal, and her back turned to a grey ocean barely visible through the barrier of a dirty window.

This year, local news has been filled with stories about how the oceans that most Danes feel attached to are dying due to overfishing and pollution. This stark reality is the inspiration for 'Dinner is served'.

Moonlight Serenade


I often think in lines and shapes when creating. The straight lines of the building, the near-symmetry of the trees, and the round moon in the middle could almost form part of a minimalist artwork in their basic shape. But the addition of the birds and the woman on the roof shakes up the minimalist approach and adds a touch of humour and a hint of surrealism – and the outline of a story. Sometimes you just want to scream at the world – and sometimes you want to sing!

Bird's Eye View


The Norse God Odin used his two ravens, Hugin and Munin, to gather information from all over the world – they provided a bird's-eye view to the most powerful god in Asgard, so to say.

The old story is not  the direct inspiration for this picture, which was created as part of a series centring on women and birds. However, it came to mind when I began working more intensely on the content – the peaceful woman, with her eyes closed and body merging with the black background and the bird, standing sharply with watchful eyes on her head, seems like something from a myth.

 Room with a View


The strict lines, the light from the window, and the woman with her back turned are inspired by the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi, who was a master of conveying calmness, contemplation, and melancholy through paintings of almost empty rooms with figures seen from behind or with their faces partly hidden.

However, this picture is a little more foreboding. The window offers a view, the door offers a way out, the bed offers a place to rest. Instead, she stands still, facing the wall. Does it have something to do with the frame to the left? Is it a mirror reflecting another mirror or a window to a similar room with a similar woman in a similar stance next to yet another window to a similar room?


Sometimes the questions have more allure than the answers.

Symbiosis


I enjoy working with both the soft lines of felines and the hard lines that define a building, and I like to explore the convergence of nature and culture, unpredictability and control in my pictures. Cats are a great catalyst for these meetings between the untamed and civilisation – they are a part of our culture, our urban landscapes, and sometimes even our families.

Aurora


This spring, we had an unusual amount of aurora borealis – or northern lights – in Denmark. It got me playing around with and creating from the word 'aurora'. She is the Roman goddess of dawn and the sister of the Sun and the Moon. While not adhering to the mythology, this picture is my interpretation of morning breaking from darkness, with Aurora carrying the Sun on one arm and the Moon on the other.
