' The 21st century is a century of globalization, mixing of cultures and the expansion of monocultures. For the arts, this means that the disciplines involve many more connections: theater with cinematography, painting or sculpture, word with music, word with image, photography, and so forth. As a poet I am focused on maximizing the expression in as few words as possible and in the melody of the language itself. But I have also discovered that combining my poems with a certain image can give me amazing new possibilities. That image I found in the work of Gabriele Viertel. Due to her kind of photography, I am able to re-expose a relatively unknown side of my work so far - sexuality and eroticism.

And in a way that in the present time, where we  almost daily are confronted with rape, sex mutilation and violence against women, is expelled to the background, namely provided with beauty, tenderness, love and with an antidote very meaningful and pleasant glamor.

On the other hand, my poems also throw a new and surprising light on her images. '
