Private commissions

A room does not always need another object

Sometimes it needs a horizon, a sense of warmth, a quieter view or a landscape that seems to continue beyond the walls.

Each private commission begins with the architecture, the natural light and the people who live in the space. I listen to how they want the room to feel and to the memories, places and experiences that matter to them.

The finished work is created specifically for that home. It cannot simply be moved to another room, because its proportions, colours and movement belong to the architecture for which it was made.

The home with high panels

A landscape in motion

The owners of this home wanted greater warmth and intimacy within rooms characterised by high wall panels and strong architectural lines.

Their travels through England and Italy became an important source of inspiration — not as literal destinations, but through memories of aged surfaces, deep landscapes, warm earth tones and rooms shaped slowly over time.

The painted landscape moves around the room, beginning within a deeper, more enclosed forest before gradually opening towards air, distance and light. As daylight travels through the windows, different areas of the painting come alive. Shadows deepen, surfaces emerge and the landscape appears to shift throughout the day.

The work gives the room warmth without covering its architecture. Instead, the panels become part of the composition, allowing the landscape to move through and around the existing structure.

A villa in North Zealand

A view towards the sea

In this North Zealand villa, the owners wished for a sense of sea and horizon within the kitchen.

The room did not physically overlook the water, so the wall painting became an imagined opening in the architecture — an atmospheric view that allows the gaze to travel beyond the room.

Rather than painting a literal window or a detailed coastal scene, I worked with distance, reflected light and the movement between sky and water. The result gives the kitchen a new visual direction: a quiet horizon and the feeling of looking towards the sea.

Sometimes a room needs a horizon.

A Swedish conifer forest

Northern stillness

This work was created from the memory of a Swedish conifer forest — a landscape where vertical trunks, filtered light and deep green shadows create a natural rhythm. The intention was to give the eye somewhere to rest.

The forest does not function as a backdrop alone. It creates depth within the room and draws the gaze slowly between the trees, towards a quieter place beyond the wall.

The restrained palette and repeated vertical movement bring calm to the architecture, while changing daylight reveals new layers within the forest.

The bedroom

Dreams after rain

Created for a bedroom, this cloudscape began on a wet, grey day when rain had softened the world outside.

Rather than reproducing the heaviness of the weather, I imagined what might exist beyond it: layers of drifting clouds, muted light and a sky with no fixed horizon.

The painting gives the room a dreamlike openness. Its soft movement changes with the light and creates a calm transition between waking and sleep.

The child’s room

Candyfloss sky

A soft pink sky of weightless, candyfloss-like clouds was created for this child’s room.

The intention was to make the room feel warm, safe and imaginative — a place where the walls could become part of a child’s inner world.

The clouds are playful without becoming illustrative. Their soft transitions and gentle colour create a room that can grow with the child while retaining its sense of wonder.
