"When I look at my latest paintings, I notice that I haven't developed much since the age of seven. I found a drawing book from my first year in school and saw that I had used the same circle of motifs since then; ships, mountains, houses, forests, and water. What is a little different since then is that it was always a blue sky with half a sun in the upper left corner. Nowadays, the sky is more purple and grey, and the sun shines through the broken cracks and scratches." - Tomas Gustavsson
