Porcelain
I have a small collection of porcelain birds, as well as blue underglazed porcelain with intricate patterns. For a long time, I've wanted to capture the essence of these treasures without creating a traditional still life. With this picture, I believe I've succeeded!

Unshattered
I am endlessly fascinated by porcelain; a material that can shatter with a single wrong move, yet at the same time can endure for centuries. In this picture, I have tried to capture the contradiction between incredible fragility and its ability to withstand the test of time.

Majesty
The theme of the meeting between animals and humans, nature and culture is one I frequently revisit. This piece conveys a certain majesty through the dignified beings, yet there's a quiet humor in the pairing of the diminutive woman with the larger-than-life heron.

Fish out of water
Have you ever tried to feel like a fish out of water, not quite fitting into a conversation? If so, you might recoqnize the condescending, tired glance of the woman in the picture.

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.

Waiting for the Miracle

Sometimes we spend our lives reaching for the impossible while being blind to the happiness surrounding us. Leonard Cohen's beautiful song, which lends its title to this work, speaks to this fruitless waiting - and I have tried to capture the mood in this picture of a colourful woman staring longingly into a grey world.

The Omen

There's something ominous about this picture. The orange light in the sky and in the windows, the almost mausoleum-like buildings in the background... or maybe it is just me seeing it as a Scandinavian. In our neck of the woods, a black cat traditionally means bad luck — but I know that they are an omen of good luck in other parts of Europe and the world. So feel free to read your own, more positive story in this picture!

On the prowl
Cats are peculiar creatures – when they are inside your home, they're cuddly pets. But once they step outside, their wild instincts come alive. Here I've captured on of these animals on the edge between civilization and the untamed wilderness.

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!

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'.

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.
