I painted this painting as a special tribute to my now late ‘partner in love and crime’ a pioneer in the field of human genetics, the Oxford scientist Professor Bryan Sykes, also the author of the worldwide bestselling book ‘The Seven Daughters of Eve’. My painting ‘African Eve The Evolution’ symbolises to me Africa as the cradle of humankind and my interpretation is not at all scientific, in fact, it is pure fantasy and simply my personal surrealistic and colourful perception of this fascinating subject, inspired by Bryan’s impressive life’s work, and in particular by his fascinating book. I let my imagination run wild here! The sunshine yellow is the domineering and most positive colour, a true favourite of mine as it reflects my own life philosophy. I do not paint to please. As always, I paint mainly through my mind’s eye, and because it is a true life passion of mine. I do hope I will be able to share some of this passion with the world through my work . I paint mainly on canvas and now use acrylics rather than oils for very colourful combinations, in this work I have also included a bit of frivolous glitter. I hope that especially this painting will find a good home one day!

I was born, I joke!, with a paintbrush in my hand. Having lived a colourful life, I have been fortunate enough to be able to pursue my passion for painting for many years and hope sincerely I can do so till, as I put it, ‘I fall out of my little red Danish clogs’ - inshallah. And every day is a new adventure! I was born and grew up in Denmark surrounded by nature, deep forests, large fields, and the wild North Sea not far away, all undoubtedly contributing to my inspiration as a painter. Having a father who was a country doctor and a mother a psychologist, my upbringing was both liberal and caring. My inspiration. I travelled the globe - ever open to new impressions, life, beauty, passion. Besides, I am inspired by very diverse sources, from philosophers to painters/artists: from Plato, Leonardo da Vinci to Michelangelo, and onwards to the post-impressionists to expressionists, Van Gogh being a firm favourite and influence. Colourful images are forever swirling in my own mind - especially when it comes to my latest, and ongoing, series about MY Cosmos - which I am calling ‘My Playful Cosmos’ - might I be in space? The stars, the galaxies, the planets, in fact, all those ‘heavenly bodies’: my goddesses!, all the vibrant and beautiful shapes - like watching the ever-changing clouds float by - I see the angels... You may, too, if you take a little time out to look at my paintings. My female forms, by the way, are heavily inspired by my time as a model, and I would describe them as abstract’ish! My life philosophy. I pray for peace, freedom, love, - and hope. Now our world needs this more than ever.
