Description of works
The bronze sculptures of dancers are created out of my personal feeling
as a dancer for the special body language of classical and modern ballet
and my fascination with line, balance and rhythm of movement. The
sculptures are cast by the cire perdue method.

The paintings are reflections - over nearness and remoteness, mirages in
air and water. They are inspired by cities, humans and impressions from
the many countries I have visited.
