I have since the summer of 2016 been living, working and traveling around the middle east. First two years in Beirut, Lebanon and since autum 2018 in Palestine / Israel. In different ways the projects on this page reflects that. The various wallpaintings in the Syrian refugee camps in Akkar, Northern Lebanon as well as the different project in Palestine and elsewhere is attempts to share and create together with the people that are there, whoever they are, wherever they come from and whatever their situation might be.

Houses, Wallpaintings, Syrian Refugeecamps, Akkar, North Lebanon, 2017 / 2018
The people, mainly kids, where asked to each paint a house of own choice. As the number of houses developed the many individual houses turned into a city making the individual house/painting becoming a part of a bigger collective city/painting. The individual effort becoming a part of a bigger picture so to say.

After painting the ciy of Aleppo in this Camp it showed that most of the inhabitans here was from the city of Homs..(!) After quite a few requests I decided to also paint their City.

In this wall piece I incorporated different elements from the kids drawings so their drawings in a sense would become a part of the fairytale or story of the painting itself.
