Mogens Balle's artistic universe is sensory, subjective, and dreamlike. As an imaginative painter, he did not strive for naturalistic reproduction, but rather for what was seen: the enclosed landscape, the phosphorescent darkness of night, the moonlight, the surfaces of houses, all applied with sensitive brushstrokes and filtered through the mind's sluice. His paintings are poems in colour, poems remembered long after they have been read.
