Artist Statement:
Painting the celestial sky
brings to mind questions of
the origins of life. Thoughts
of conception, pregnancy and
birth evoke similar wonderment
of the initial moments of
life. At the moment of human
conception is the convergence
of sperm and ovum. In the
celestial realm the “big bang”
is a similar unexplained
fraction of infinitesimal time
that represents infinite
energy in a singular space
area, the elements of which
are beyond human perception.
Human beings are designed to
grasp all reality on a very
limited scale. We are limited
by what our sight, sound,
smell, taste, and touch can
perceive. The micro cosmos is
far too small and the galactic
worlds are far too vast for my
perception but a notion
arises, a strange and
enigmatic notion, i feel that
there is a strong similarity
if not connection between the
worlds.
Since 1995 when I began
painting deep space; galaxies,
quasars,blue super giants and
supernovas have become my
models. In recent years I
started to paint a new series
of painting inspired by the
inner body photography of
Lennart Nilsson, his depiction
of human formation and the
fetus in the womb.
