Life is art.
Inspire by being myself.
Inspire by being myself.
It is the role of art and the artist to challenge the fundamental ideas of our society. It is about seeing reality from a different perspective, looking big at rules and fueling the debate.

My vision is to create art and ideas that can be tremendously valuable in that it starts a conversation that leads to a worldwide innovation that no one previously thought could be useful, like penicillin, hydropower, and freedom of speech.
I have always been a visionary entrepreneur creating business and branding ideas for clients. Suddenly it all stopped up and I was in danger losing it all. In that period I started doing art to find my inner peace leading to a major change in my life. I stopped chasing and started reciving. Now I give and never have my life been more fulfilling following my mission: Just now is the finest I have.
I work within painting, text, installation and photography and it is all about ideas, color and composition powered by the energy from the moment I create.

HAKOON works from his base at Strandgata 76 in Sandnes on the southwest coast of Norway. There he has a gallery, studio and writing room with direct access from the street and a view into an old garden. In the main house, the artist rents out 4 apartments through Airbnb to guests from all over the world who visit the region to experience spectacular nature in artistic surroundings.
The large historic property houses an old stable where the artist organizes events and seminars around a real Italian wood-fired pizza oven and long tables with red checkered tablecloths.
The place is under continuous development according to the vision "Syttiseks shall, by virtue of its history, become a place for mental replenishment through art, experience and taste".
The surrounding area is undergoing a transformation where the historic properties are being restored to their former glory and the previously stifling through-traffic has finally been removed for good. Along the sea, glaring industry is disappearing and a new district is growing with life and excitement. The hope is that more artists will eventually find their place so that the street becomes a magnet for artists and its audience.
