Knot
01. “ I’m undoing a knot. Taking my painting apart. Surface, lines, areas, finally simply colours. I proceed in small intervals, layer by layer, and thinly, a mark is created. I don't plan. I destroy many works, some I start from scratch. A longing for clarity. The colour palette of legos seems sincere. The end result is landscapes, some kind of deformations on a horizon. “

Ote / Grip is an ongoing project where I explore artistic expression in relation to my background in design and poster art. I am intrigued by the point at which associations form and how we read an image in the moment. It's where the familiar and the unknown lightly brush against each other, capturing the interface of the ephemeral and the timeless.

When speaking of graphic design as a language, the emphasis is on interpersonal interaction, seeking the principles related to readability, interpretation, rhetoric, and dramaturgy.
Graphic design as communication involves the development of stylistic and expressive forms to correspond to the images that emerge within human communities over time. How to give shape to things that are only just shifting tectonic plates, anticipating future times
