Spillerom

Space to act

Jeux du lieu

Akvarell/Watercolour/l'Aquarelle

The translation of the norwegian title of this picture wasn't easy. The norwegian name has a double play. It means both a gaming room, but also the possibility, ability and a space to act, to take action. The scenery is from Spain, I think it was Madrid? The photography that inspired me was taken by my little brother, an emerging, talented art photographer (in my opinion). The vivid colors, the worn appearance and narrow spaces make a perfect blend of present and past. It makes you think about the passing times, the different ages, the past and the future. What have the walls here seen? What will they see in the future? People passing by, having discussions, laughing, arguing, playing and fighting. Hence the title "Spillerom".

Quiet winter

Vinterstillhet
Quiet winter
l'Hiver Tranquille

 Winter is a beautiful time of the year. The weather changes often, and brutally. From one second to the next, it can change from sun to storm. Or a mix. In the northern part of Norway (where I live) the sun returns about January-February. At that time of the year the light shifts and plays with the clouds and mountains. The light and the changing weather creates stunning contrasts in the landscape. It inspires me to paint, thought the nature remains the winner of beauty.

What inspires you?
