Psychedelic Print-Paintings, my own hand-made technique
Dive into the innovative world of Print-Paintings, my unique artistic technique developed in 1972-74. This journey began with playful monotype experiments, evolving into a distinctive method combining print and painting. I leveraged rubber rollers, graphic inks, and varnishes to build transparent layers, bringing each graphic to life.

Early Flight: The Genesis of Color in 'Bird Comp'
In 'Bird Comp,' a seminal piece from 1973, my exploration into the vivid realm of color takes flight. This Print-Painting, a cornerstone of my early oeuvre, captures the freedom and dynamism of avian forms against a twilight canvas. The artwork weaves an ethereal tapestry where the natural world converges with the celestial.
Within its bounds, birds soar, transforming the air into a symphony of movement, each stroke and hue revealing a narrative of liberation and the inherent connection between earth and sky. The silhouettes of foliage and the tranquility of distant peaks serve as a grounding counterpoint to the untamed dance above, illustrating the delicate balance that pervades existence. 'Bird Comp' is more than an artifact of artistic infancy; it is a promise of the vibrant expressions that would come to define my life’s work.
A Story of Painting History
My Amsterdam phase in 1975 was a period of light and delicate color explorations, inspired by Mexican sacred mushrooms. These works, showcased in galleries across Stockholm, Warsaw, and West-Berlin, captivated viewers with their layered colors and fantastical nature. Later, in Stockholm, I further refined this technique, focusing on simple yet profound visions in a spectral trio of red, yellow, and blue, marking a significant phase in my artistic journey.
