In these times ,when the world has been witnessing the most dreadful aussults on innocent civilians in many parts of the world, fellow human beings, watchers of the news, outside the war zone, are left in total dispair, fury, and helplessness. These criminal activities are spread through TV cameras and shown to us on the News each day;  Kids fleeing from bombs, finding rescue nowhere. Looking into these war victims eyes of total fear, makes me totally furious and I turn my anger towards the people who are responsible for these abuses.

What have we left when we have witnessed every law of decency related to the human rights being crushed?  Nothing.

What can we do? Can we still hope for a better life for everyone?  I think that every attempt to create a better world,  a life worth living, is the only solution.  Through establishing  decent living conditions for everyone;  good housing, food, clean water, education, the possibility to make jobs related to a sustainable nature preserving policy, in combination with communication teaching and practizing.  These goals might  and must be reached.

Greedyness, seeking power for one`s own sake must come to an end.

Creating good hopes for the future, also in these times, might sound meaningless and foolish, but hope is the only issue we have.

Creating art is one of many ways of communicating hope, also a means of expressing and communicating traumas lived through. Art can be a part of a healing prossess.

Through my pictures, which are both expressionistic and impressionistic, I try to show the beauty of nature on lights` premisses, and also what is going on in human interactions. Working with related topics, gives meaning and values to my life,  a fact I wish for other humans to enjoy to, I hope that looking at art  also  can contribute to heal people who have been exposed to abuses of different kinds and that performing art can do the same.
