Dreamhours is to some extent holy ground for me. Not in the sense that I value my own work, but the process of creating fills a void that any religion or esoteric views has failed to do. Seeing the wonders of nature and trying to capture some of its atmosphere is a life endevourment for me. In that aspect, some of my work is closely linked with the romantic spirit of the nintieenth century, but I'm also very fond of the early modernist movements, like the symbolists of France and the expressionist in Germany. I could keep on mentioning things that has made a world of difference to me, but I'm satisfied in naming some of them in the inspirattion section of this site.

Dreamhours is focused on the visible, the tangible, but only to a certain extent. What I'm really trying to portray are the things that describe the inner reality; a mysterious and obscure, deep and enticing reality. That which you rather have to feel, than try to describe.

Baudelaire once wrote, that mankind walks through "forests of symbols" and sees the world as a "forest of signs" to discover and understand the universal in the individual, the invisible in the visible. That is a nice thought in my perspective, and it comes close to the idea behind this place.

If I was to add a final word, it would be a wish that you will be inspired to portray your own reality, wheter this is by words, images or the medium you feel the most comfortable with.
