Brilliant Colors EGM -- Contemporary sculpture, collage, and paintings

I have an inner picture that is like a kaleidoscope of bright colors that I am chasing after, seeking order in the abundance of possibilities, allowing myself to create exuberance and excitement. After having painted abstracts for many years, I started doing collages , using all kinds of papers, fabrics, ribbons and shapes.

I am interested in putting the colorful shapes in space, where the distance and the connections to each other are important and where a playful scene is created. This work-- sculptures -- - is a celebration of color, shapes and movement. Although it was not a concept from the start, I imagine music playing and people dancing among my three-dimensional pieces.

An artist is an explorer, discovering new possibilities. It is a never-ending process.
