Landscape Works
My landscape artworks begin with original photographs, capturing moments of stillness, light, and natural rhythm.
Using mixed media—black ink layered with gold and silver foil on canvas, I reinterpret these scenes into timeless compositions.
The metallic accents evoke the changing qualities of light in nature, from winter’s stark silence to summer’s warm reflections, blending realism with poetic abstraction.
“Sunset Birch Grove”
Medium: Black ink with gold and silver leaf on canvas
Support: Canvas stretched on wooden chassis
Dimensions: 40 × 50 cm
Scene: Birch forest near a forest pond at sunset
“Sunset Birch Grove” captures a tranquil moment in nature, where tall birch trees surround a quiet forest pond, bathed in the warm, fading light of sunset. This 40 × 50 cm artwork is created in mixed media, combining black ink with gold and silver leaf to evoke the richness of both form and light.
The white trunks of the birches stand out crisply against the textured background, while the gold leaf sky glows with the soft energy of dusk. The pond’s surface, touched with silver reflections, gently mirrors the surrounding foliage. The foreground is alive with detailed grasses and undergrowth, offering a strong sense of depth and immersion.
This piece is a celebration of the quiet beauty of the Nordic landscape, blending graphic realism with atmospheric warmth. Through reflective materials and meticulous linework, the painting invites viewers into a space of stillness, light, and timeless connection with nature.
“Birch Silence – Sweden”
Medium: Black ink on silver foil
Support: Canvas stretched on chassis, 30x40cm
“Birch Silence – Sweden” is a delicate and contemplative landscape that captures the quiet beauty of northern nature in winter. Created using black ink on silver foil, this mixed media work is rendered on canvas stretched over a wooden chassis, allowing the reflective surface to subtly interact with ambient light.
The composition focuses on the intricate silhouettes of birch trees, their slender trunks and fine branches weaving across the canvas like natural lace. In the distance, a line of evergreens stands stark against a snowy open field, evoking both stillness and depth. The use of silver foil beneath the ink adds a luminous, almost ethereal quality to the piece, echoing the crisp clarity of Scandinavian winter light.
This artwork is part of a series that explores the essence of Nordic landscapes through minimalist expression and tonal contrast, inviting viewers into a space of visual calm and introspection.
