Fri Hand

Galleri Torekov · 2023

A turning point — the introduction of hand-painting as a method. The technique creates a direct connection between artist and work, lending each painting a particular presence and spontaneity.

Oil on linen, ranging from 10 × 10 cm to 196 × 235 cm. A celebration of the freedom to make without the demand for exactness.
