Blooming Winter Dreams

The colors of a
cold morning
The first light opens
the flowers in my
winter dream

Winter morning, the colors of a new day. I stroll along the path between sleeping and waking, I don't want to let go of my dream yet. A cold breeze through my hair, the sunlight touches my face, trees with fragrant winter flowers…

Blooming Winter Dreams

‘Blooming Winter Dreams’ is an artwork in my collection 'The Narrow Path'.

With this artwork, the US painter Karina Mosser and I present to you a new dimension in the series of Karina painting on a print of one of my photographs: textured painting that gives the artwork a magical 3D feeling !

The original (16x12") is still available, and, of course, Limited Edition or Open Edition prints in any size you prefer. Send me a message if you are interested.

Sunrise Serenade

A unique fusion of fine art photography and painting !

Sunrise brings a serenade beyond the dark silence of the night. The tender light gently touches the water and the reeds, in a duet with the wind

In recent months, the painter Karina Mosser (USA) and I have been collaborating in various ways in the creation of new artworks. And with this artwork "Sunrise Serenade", we have taken a new path. Karina painted on a print of one of my photographs.

The photo is printed on museum quality Hahnemühle Photo Rag. And on it Karina painted with ink and watercolor.

The buyer of this work will receive it from Karina, signed and with certificate of authenticity.

I made this impressionistic artwork which forms the basis of this work, in March 2019 in south and south east Sweden.

Hundreds of small islands lie off the coast of south-east Sweden.
They usually consist of no more than rocky soil with shrubs and trees, surrounded by a collar of reeds.
And on this beautiful winter day, at sunrise the light plays a serenade on the reeds, accompanied by the wind.

Prints are available in my Saatchi Art portfolio at the artwork page, or ask for a quote or contact me through a message.

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke, on what we lose when we continue on the road of 'never enough'.

Fotopentrito and Fotopentriti

In my collaboration with Karina Mosser, we started a new project: painting on a photograph.

This isn't a unique way of creating art, it has been done before.

But with the fluid fusion of our styles and materials, we are sure that a series of unique works of art will emerge.
We set out to find a word that would describe this medium well.

There is no existing word for painting on a photograph. So we composed two new words. We derived these from the words for 'painting' and 'photo' in the Esperanto language.

Thus arose Fotopentrito to denote the medium and a work of art painted on a photograph, and the word Fotopentriti to describe several works of art made in this way.

We will keep you update on our websites and on social media !

Below the first two of my artworks from the collection Infinite Sea to which Karina will add her unique style.
