The Yellow Umbrella

A dark evening in a city where it is raining briskly. The street is almost deserted, shopkeepers have just turned out the lights and closed their stores.

Moonlit Sail

A tranquil night. On the distant horizon appears a moonlit sail, slowly driven by a light breeze.

As you probably know, Karina Mosser and I have been collaborating in various ways in the creation of new artworks.

With this artwork "Moonlit Sail" we proudly present to you a new artwork in this unique series. Karina painted on a print of one of my photographs.

The photo is printed on museum quality Hahnemühle Photo Rag and Karina painted with ink and watercolor. The size is 14"x22", ±35x56cm.

The buyer of this original painting will receive it from Karina, of course she will sign it and add a certificate of authenticity.
Limited and Open edition prints are also available. I will sign the Limited editions and they also have a certificate. You can purchase them on Saatchi Art or directly from me.
Contact one of us if you are interested.

I made my minimalistic photo on a cloudy winter evening at the beach of the North Sea, south of the town of Agger in Denmark.

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
