The images painted by Ern are fictional creations. The artist often departs from a place or a situation seen in real life. Sometimes the original idea may come from a photograph, a film or perhaps the news. Ern then toys with a chosen subject, occasionally adding elements - always seeking to achieve a particular feeling. Often a new work is a continuation and development of a previous work, always striving to pose a question and to create a degree of suspense.
