Year 2026
Medium Oil on canvas
Size 30 × 30 cm each

Three small paintings of gannets, made as the light shifts and spring begins to press forward. Symmetry, closeness, and the direct gaze — small variations that open the subject in new ways, exploring both positive and negative space.

Year 2026
Medium Oil on canvas
Size 50 × 70 cm
Frame Vintage golden frame
Status Available

A controversial embrace between man and devil. A provocative exploration of intimacy, power, and the quiet moments where alliances form.
A gesture. Subtle, but impossible to ignore. And a smile that can be read as comfort, manipulation, or complicity.
You decide.

Exhibited at Gallery X, Dublin — Speak of the Devil?

Medium Oil on canvas
Size 70 × 50 cm
Frame No frame included

Inderøy's freshly crowned Olympic hero Einar Hedegard — in full flight.
A tribute to a piece of local sports history. I tried to capture speed, concentration and will — not just a body or a face.

Frame Handmade oak frame

A woman opens the curtains of her comfortable room onto a refugee camp. Behind her, a luxury breakfast, champagne, and a newspaper with the headline REFUGEE CRISIS.
I wanted to paint the exact moment between not knowing and knowing. After this moment, ignorance is no longer available as an option.
The title is borrowed from E.M. Forster. He meant it as a promise. Here it is something else.

Frame Black wooden frame

A girl in a bunad at the Stortinget opening. Outside the window, a Norwegian flag — tattered, weathered, still waving. A painting in the spirit of the great nasjonalromantikk painters.

Both title and flag are a nod to Johnny Cash's "Ragged Old Flag".

Thanks to Oda Indgaard (MDG) for permission to use the image reference. The original image was taken at the opening of the Stortinget-year 2025.

Nobody told him he had to run.

Frame Reused wooden frame

A sister piece to "Hiatus" (NFS) — painted in response to the interest that work received. A small girl, a lantern, and a ladder that disappears into the night sky. The first steps are missing, and the way up is unclear. A metaphor for the journey of a self-taught artist — and for anyone who has had to find direction without a map.

A bolt cutter, bound in barbed wire. Presented on red velvet — as a trophy of power.

A white dove flies over a dystopic landscape, carrying a dandelion as a last sign of life. Caught in the sight of a rifle.

Elmer — the Rise

Year 2025
Medium Oil on canvas
Size 70 × 50 cm
Frame Handmade oak frame
Status Available

Elmer is a legendary trout from the TV series "How the West Was Won" — wily, almost mythical, never caught. A symbol of nature's cunning and the eternal pursuit of the unattainable.

This painting captures the moment Elmer rises to take a fly. A rise, a brief glimpse of the elusive legend — before he disappears into the depths again.

Inspired by a photo series by Øystein Rossebø.
