--We have all at some time in our life experienced physical and emotional pain. Perhaps in our childhood, in a war, or deep in our souls. There can be pain in many ways. A lot of us don’t want to talk about our pains. One don’t want to disturb, intrude or make people uncomfortable by telling. On rare occasions we might talk about it.
But what if our pains go on and on…
We tend to hide it, ignore or pretend that all is well. We are all expected to function normally, to fit in to the society and be competent and strong. With my exhibition I would like to show how I interpreter pain.
My wish is that people can relate to my paintings and perhaps receive some comfort in knowing that they are not alone. It’s important to talk about pain, but I think it’s also important to be able to visualize pain like I have done with my exhibition “the little book of pain”.
With a painting one doesn't need words. With a painting one can “speak” with the whole world.--
