Sagen er at man tror, man kender sit portræt, men i virkeligheden er den man kender, et glansbillede af en selv.  Men efter flere års utallige gange foran spejlet kendte jeg mig selv meget bedre, og mit motiv så godt, at jeg begyndte at eksperimentere over dette tema ”selvportrættet”. Og det var disse selvportrætter, der blev starten på min karriere som kunstner.

Flere af værkerne fra ”kvindeserien” blev antaget på Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling (KE) i 1995 og 96. Dette blev starten på min karriere og anerkendelse som kunstner.  Senere kom værker fra ”Den krøllede serie” ind på Kunstnernes Sommerudstilling (KS) i 2000 og 2001 -  Bare for at understreje det. Ja, mine selvportrætter kom vidt omkring og satte en masse gode spiraler i gang for mig som kunstner. Derfor er de også her på min hjemmeside endnu – de er et historisk dokument, der stadig udvikles. Jeg laver i øvrigt stadig selvportrætter ind i mellem. Men nu er det ikke hver dag, men en gang i mellem, når jeg får en god idé. Dem kan du også se her i selvportrætserien

For more than 10 years I painted nothing else than self portraits. It came in the years 1992 to 2003. At go to depth with a theme was very educational and rewarding. When I look back, it was probably a way to rework my life on, to move forward as a human being. But self-portraits are not to sneeze at. The first day you sit in front of the mirror, and draw what you see, you will not be able to get similar enough. Is the nose really that great you think Etc.The thing is that we think we know our portrayal, but in reality are not known to you, but a glossy picture of a self. After several years of countless times in front of the mirror I knew myself much better, and my motive as well, that I started experimenting with this theme "self portrait".And it was these self-portraits, there was the beginning of my career as an artist. Several of the works from "woman series" was accepted at the artists ' autumn exhibition (KE) in 1995 and 96. This was the beginning of my career and recognition as an artist. Later works came from "The curly seria" into the artists ' Summer exhibition (KS) in 2000 and 2001  -just to underline the shrimp. Yes, my self-portraits came far and wide and put a lot of good spirals in time for me as an artist. Therefore, they are also here on my website yet — they are a historical document, which is still being developed. I do in fact still self-portraits from time to time. But now it is not every day, but once in a while, when I get a good idea.You can also view them here in the self-portrait series.
