During this national shutdown we have moved out of the city closer to the forest and Kattegat. It’s about three weeks ago and we will be here for much longer. I don’t miss city life at all. Not that city life is bad but being out here on the country side for this long put things in perspective and there is a different tranquility up here than in the city. I have never been a nature hiking sort of guy but I do like to look at nature. Especially Colombian nature. My wife’s family are from Colombia so we try to go as often as possible. Above is a picture of Carolina’s childhood finca and playground. You can see the influence in her recent work too here. Places like that are meant to enter ones work. One of my favourite things to look at is when the day turns to evening altering the color of plants making them almost black in stark contrast to what is left of daylight. In 2015 I made these gouache works on paper and I felt like looking at them the other day. Here they are.
