InterestsFor the last 20 years: Transgeénetic motifs of ´HUMAN ANIMAL´s in paintings and drawings with the combination of human being and animal, referring to coming possibilities in the future of genetic engineering. Ideas and inspiration comes from a personal, deep interest in experiments and new ways from results in science and research, today and tomorrow. Oil paintings and drawings, in realistic style, are reflecting portrait examples of transgenetic manipulation with human beings and animals. Probably a hypothetical, imaginary development of today but a foreseeable realistic possibility of tomorrow.

Dan, A very interesting look at the animal we greatly resemble! We may have poetry, music, and art. But sadly when it comes to territory, domination, and higherarchy we seem not to have evolved that much from the chimps. We are chimps with nuclear weapons! I think that your art is very thought provoking. Lenke
