See-through canvas
People often ask me how I got the idea of painting on glass. The truth is, it all started with a bike ride through Copenhagen and a six-pack of Faxe Kondi.
Back then, I couldn’t afford proper plywood to keep painting letters like I used to. One day, I saw workmen replacing old windows. I offered them the six-pack in exchange for a few of those windows.
Based on a quote by Ratan Tata, this piece was born out of a desire to overcome fear – fear of failure, rejection, and the unknown. At the time, I felt trapped by invisible barriers, stuck in a loop of hesitation and angst.
Painting “Risk” was my way of breaking that wall, of daring myself to move forward despite the uncertainty. Contrast colours and warped typography echo the courage it takes to confront fear head-on and recall that the biggest risk is staying still.
I stripped the paint off the windows to reveal rich, saturated core-wood with a tight texture and grain—perfect for framing. It felt like a revelation. The wood wasn’t just a frame; it became part of the story. In art history, pre-modern frames often served as a boundary, a signal that the painting wasn’t reality but a window into another world. This connection felt natural, transforming reclaimed windows into portals for my work.

Love that lasts
In an age of fleeting screens, even profound ideas can feel temporary. What you choose to hang on your wall is different. My work is about capturing depth and meaning — visualizing it, preserving it, and giving it a lasting presence in your space.
In a world of fleeting moments, love deserves permanence. Inspired by Kendrick Lamar, this piece transforms a profound truth into something tangible —depth and meaning preserved, not just seen but felt. 125x75cm
Flip the words
I paint the words in reverse on the back of the window, letting the glass create a glossy, mirror-like finish—deeper than piano lacquer (4mm to be exact).
The wooden frame, treated with stain, linseed oil, and beeswax, preserves its rich texture and character, making it as enduring as the words it holds.
Bukowski’s poem, ‘The laughing heart,’ is about defiance — about finding something, even in the chaos, that keeps you alive. This piece captures that spirit. The words, encased in glass, remind to look beyond the surface, to see resilience and meaning in what we might otherwise overlook. 60x80cm. For sale.
Content matter
Wisdom is more precious than jewels,” the proverb says. I don’t paint landscapes or portraits, nor do I create abstract or naïve art. Instead, I focus on something deceptively simple: words.
You might ask, “Words – what’s the point?”
Words have power. Poetry and philosophy can change us from the inside out, shaping how we see the world and ourselves. That’s what I paint – ideas that resonate, challenge, and transform.

Urban Art Deco
Paris in the 1930s whispered sophistication. Polished enamel signs caught the light and slowed the pace of passersby, inviting quiet reflection.
Berlin in the 2020s shouts defiance. Raw and fearless street art transforms every wall into a statement, challenging the way we see and think.
This piece, bridges those worlds. Its glossy, vivid finish captures the enduring elegance of Art Deco, while its bold typography and unapologetic message embody the restless energy of urban streets. It’s not just art—it’s a perspective, framed in glass and wood, daring you to embrace imperfection and move forward boldly.

In the workshop
Every piece begins with a sketch. Why? Because when pencil meets paper, something shifts – ideas take shape at a speed I can barely keep up with. It’s raw, unfiltered creativity.
From there, I refine. I streamline and polish, much like an editor shaping words into meaning. Only then does the brush meet the surface, where the idea finally comes to life.
