About Me
Let’s Connect ✨
Art is a conversation—sometimes spoken through light and shadow, sometimes through words.

My History
Driven by a desire to document the raw, the decaying, and the sublime, my work explores the emotional undercurrents of place and memory. Through analog and digital photography, I merge environmental storytelling with fine art aesthetics—capturing the forgotten, the untamed, and the liminal.

Based in Oslo, Norway, I developed, printed, and curated fine art works for exhibitions and collectors. Studio practice included:

Mission statements
Keep the art free.
At the heart of my work is a belief that art should be raw, honest, and accessible. Through photography, I aim to strip away pretense and reveal the quiet beauty, the overlooked moments, and the tension between light and shadow that defines life off the beaten path. This is fine art with a pulse—unfiltered, imperfect, and completely free in spirit.
- Grit meets grace – real emotions in surreal settings
- 35mm film & analog textures – no filters, just feeling
- Candid self-portraits with layered symbolism
- Urban decay as modern myth
- Nature reimagined through a dreamlike lens
- Anti-commercial, pro-creative ethos
- Visual storytelling that bends time and meaning
- Every photo is a poem in disguise

Advantages of owning artwork from me
Own a Piece of the Unseen.
My work captures raw, forgotten places and fleeting emotions that most people will never experience firsthand. Each piece isn’t just a photo—it’s a portal into a world that's wild, honest, and beautifully off the grid.
Art with Soul, Not Hype.
In a world full of filters and trends, my photography stands defiantly authentic. Created outside the commercial machine, every image reflects depth, grit, and truth. Buyers aren’t just getting decor—they’re investing in emotion, atmosphere, and vision.
Support Independent, Untamed Creativity.
By buying my art, collectors support a decade-plus of fearless exploration—from radioactive silence in Chernobyl to the icy stillness of the Arctic. This isn’t mass-produced wall candy—this is handmade rebellion, framed.
