Statement (english)

 

Statement:

 

What is life? What happens in life? Why do most people have certain age related issues to fight? What is death? Why do we die? Is it possible to die beautifully and what is between life and death?

Most of these questions we will never be able to answer but we can spend endless hours thinking them over. Maybe we will find the answers or we might find a way to live with these eternally unanswerable questions.

 

There is also another category of questions that I would like to find answers for and discuss. Why all the injustice in the world? Unfortunately I experience an enormous amount of destruction for no reason at all. Through the last decades a few of the inhabitants of this world has coursed pollution, cut down the forests and in other ways exploited our natural resources so that the same few people can live in abundance. All living things - nature, people, and animals alike - pay for this physical destruction. In my view the mental destruction of humanity is the source of this disaster.

 

We are destroying mankind. Death and destruction comes from racism, fascism, unwarranted domination and envy. What drives people to setting up this kind of limitations for themselves and destructive action? Hopefully my paintings can create debate and make people reflect on these issues.

 

At the same time we ought not to forget to see that life has amazing and wonderful sides. The world is in places so beautiful that it is all we will ever need. It is necessary to smile and laugh just once in a while to counteract all the negativity. This is why I sometimes use humor as a way of looking at these issues.

 

I would like to thank those who managed to read the whole text and I hope to see you again soon.
