“I see the picture as a sensual, sexual, form- and colourful fairy tale like those, which I, as very young, read with my heart throbbing and sweat on my forehead late at night, where kings, fairies, dragons, birds of fire, fauns, nymphs, noble knights and virginal, but very seductive and willing princesses flocked round the battle between good and evil. My subconsciousness is so overfilled with these stories, which I see in my dreams almost every night, so when I saw "Forest´s Dream", I got a feeling, that I was dreaming with my eyes wide open."
