(Rafik, Robbin and Åse at the beach of western Denmark)
March 9th 2026
For several years, I’ve created very little new art because of my life situation. I’ve at the foundry, and casted older sculptures for commissions and printed graphic works that people have ordered, but not much new.
Throughout my life, art, horses, and dogs have been my passion. In difficult years, the dogs and horses have been a real support and helped me get through. Sometimes I wonder if maybe I’m not a “real” artist, because when life has been too tough, I stop creating art—I only take care of and train my animals. That’s just how it has been.
But I also hold on to many thoughts, feelings, and impressions that I want to express in my art. And now I feel an inner spark I haven’t felt in many years, and a desire to work with my art again. My living situation is far from good, I am in between places. But even so, in days to come, after I have worked with my animals, I will set aside time and work with my art again.
Now its time.
