I work with painting and am, among other things, concerned with colour, abstraction and journeys of discovery – both as a physical journey and internally during the painting process.

Many of my paintings are painted with mineral pigments from rocks and soils that I find in nature. Among other things, I have worked on the project in the Amazon in Peru and Brazil and on Easter Island, as well as Northern Norway and Folldal mines.

I am interested in color and tactility and painting in general, and I work with acrylic and oil paints in other projects. An overview of such paintings can be found on the Instagram account @primusprimus.color.and.emotion

Medium: mineral pigments, acrylic, oil, watercolour, mixed techniques.

Painting: Colour, mineral pigments, (human) consciousness and consciousness in nature, new abstract expressionism, painting in an expanded field, expedition, painting as a research method.
