The sittingroom in Uppsala where I grew up was dark with a lot of old furniture that belonged to my grandfather

I went skiing to school

To practice I tried to draw the same face several times, I made these drawings when I was six years old

Stubborn!

More stubborn!

I made this drawing when I was five years old

I also gave myself rates for my own drawings, you see it left down in the corner

When I was 17 I travelled to Lappland. at that time I could still carry 27 kilo's on my back

My mother started to read books for me when I was a baby

My studio is in the attic in an old canalhouse of Amsterdam
