I was born and raised surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Europe’s largest glacier, the most beautiful mountain ring, black sand beaches and fjords full of islands and rocky reefs. I firmly assume that my upbringing amongst both the enormous and miniscule in nature has shaped me and most of what I do.
I don’t work particularly consciously under this influence, but these influences are part of me. They’re in my genes, colored blue.
The upbringing and the inheritance from my parents, however, are strong earthy colours.
