Tina’s art is based on people´s emotional life and behaviors that the most of us have been in contact with, and to some extent, it can also be considered diary entries.
The art consists of both images and poetry. These two components lift each other and you don’t know if the images are an illustration of the poetry or if the poetry is an explanation of the images. The photos are narrative and can be considered a fusion between contemporary photography and fine art with influences from both the renaissance, baroque and surrealism.
Many of the props she uses she has made herself with the help of her husband. The models in the pictures are all members of Tina´s family and her sons and nieces are often used in the projects, playing roles both as children and adults. She also acts herself in several pictures. Together they have transformed their home into a theater with simple means and staged various stories. The whole family has been involved to be actors, light technicians, and assistants. The photos therefore do not aim to be perfect but should be seen as paintings in light with a story to tell.
