"I'm a junky for beauty. I am the one who suddenly stands still on the street, staring at something I perceive as beauty."

"My female sculptures consist some kind of a paradox; although I regard the female forms in all their variations as miracles, my female sculptures are always about the movements more than the forms. They are about attitude. There is always a movement. This movement is almost always directed upwards."

"When I look at nature, I see that everything fills itself completely. This for me is the ultimate sum of beauty."

"What I want to give the viewer is an experience of beauty. I want the viewer to be able to look through the forms and find that the beauty is there, inside, as well. Beauty is not to point out, not to describe. One can perceive beauty in a face; a body that moves in a particular way. But when one tries to copy this movement, the beauty vanishes. Beauty is hidden in honesty. Therefore I cannot plan the sculptures I make; if I would, I believe they would be static and ugly."

"There is life inside the stone. Just as with people, you have to lure it out with love. To force upon it a form you self have made up is to me the worst form of violence."

"I am completely honest in my work. I do not exhibit a sculpture if I have not experienced that moment when everything else is gone and I just stand there, gazing with my mouth open and enjoy the sight of this beauty which has revealed itself in front of me."

"Although it is my work, the sculptures have the amazing impact on me of surprising me and giving me this moment of ecstasy. They show, yes - simply materialize - feelings, passions and beauty that I recognize from somewhere deep inside of me. Things that I have not been able to imagine before the stone sculpture stands there with its glittering crystals. The sculptures show something of me that was unknown to my own conscience. "
