Landscapes and memories. A project about remembering via a landscape or a place.
Here you will find paintings of Danish landscapes, places and situations. Most of them are created recently and you can just enjoy them as windows to chosen places in Denmark.
But since all these paintings are created as a mix of the memory of the past expressed through the body of a landscape, maybe you can encounter yourself in the pictures here.
You might not have walked with a beautiful person through the night or been skating on the ice as I have on some of the pictures below, but since most human lives in many ways are alike, these glimpses of Denmark and the past may open doors to your own landscapes of memories. Have a pleasant journey.
The idea behind the project is to work with the different elements of memories. Often we remember somehing linked to a smell, a sound or a place. A memory can also be strongly embedded in a object like a photo or a ring, belonging to a person you love. In the pictures below I have worked with a chosen landscape linked aforehand to a memory of intense meaning to me. Every landscape below is linked to a memory, and if you click the pictures you will see the memories behind.
