In 1992 I won 20,000 Danish Kroners, which was about $8,000 back then. So I went to New York for a week and spent it all. I mostly spent it on electronics and gadgets. It was wonderful. But I also managed to take a couple of hundred photographs while I was there. These photographs later inspired me to do a series of digital paintings of New York.
The idea was there that should be a yellow cab in all the paintings, because they are so typical for New York, so somewhere in all of these paintings, you’ll see a yellow cab. Or two. Or more. New York is a fascinating city – just walking around Manhattan was breathtaking. I hope it shows in these paintings!
