Gesture allows us to express ourselves, and it also shapes the way we understand and interpret others. 

I like paintings that are somewhat unfinished or abstracted,  in which not everything is fully realised. Art where the viewer can finish the story in their mind and in their own way. I think that way there is more room left  for interpretation and feeling. Space for finding out what that particular artwork means to you. 

In the “Gestures” series it is the movement of the hands, and the body language highlighted in the paintings’ composition that are treated in this unfinished, sketchy way -  that leave the window open wide for personal interpretation.
