About

I want to create an interface which throws the viewer into a world filled with intense characters. Characters that do not apologise.

A vivid character creates its own story. I want to portray people and expose feelings and underlying doubt.

After a short time of working in accounting for Sir Robert McAlpine and Modern Times Group I felt broody. Leaving the office each day feeling unsatisfied, I had a strong urge to return to the academic world. I left my position and enrolled to study at London School of Economics. After I had finished a Masters Degree in Philosophy and History of Science I began to draw, 5-6 hours every day.

To study philosophy in depth is both difficult and time consuming. As a form of expression it allows you to immediately provoke and play around with everything from questions about epistemology to meaning/reality and other types of metaphysical issues.

My favorite subject and main inspiration is the Philosophy of Social Science with questions surrounding rationality, relativism and identity. I’m not aiming at glamorizing the disgusting and ugly but to bring out the resigned humor and irony which makes existence bearable.

The generation I belong to have not inherited much when it comes to meaningful moral values. We have too much freedom and the burden of endless choices is inevitable. Existential questions feel more and more relevant the more you dig in this “freedom”. What do you base your choices on and why?

My overall intention is to evoke thought, which for me is what both philosophy and art is about.
