Where do you find inspiration for your art?
“I find inspiration from literature, music and Renaissance paintings – and then I also gather inspiration from being in the present and being reflective. I have some good hours in the morning where my brain is very generous with ideas and pictures that I draw small sketches of. Later in the day I take out my sketches again, and then I work on them and sort out which sketches have the potential to turn into a painting.”
