Hi. Welcome to my page. Here you will find a mix of my engineering and art projects.

Cat Automaton

Strandkaien
East of Nordnes peninsula along the west side of 'Vågen' lies 'Strandkaien', translated to 'Beach Pier'. Today you can find a variety of shops along with a boat terminal at the pier. In the background you can see the UNESCO world heritage site 'Bryggen'.

Bird Automaton
This mechanical bird automaton is completely 3D printed and requires no assembly. Rotation of the crank is transformed into vertical motion by a scotch yoke mechanism which in turn makes the body of the bird go up and down. At the same time, links are connected to each of the wings, resulting in a lifelike movement.

Torgallmenningen
'Torgallmenningen' stretches from the Town Square in the northeast, to 'Olav Vs plass' in the southwest. Even though Bergen is a small city compared to most European cities, the town square is worthy of that of a large city; almost 500 metres long.
This area got destroyed during the great fire of 1916. This lead to a design contest where architects and artists had to determine how the future town square should look like. The winner of the competition was Finn Berner (1892-1947). He completed his degree in architecture at the now Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Berner created the town square in the style of neoclassisism, recognized by its simplicity and smooth facades.
In the 1700s you couldfind Bergen's main pillory here, where criminals were tied and publicly punished by flagellation. Today it is replaced by a maritime monument to honor Norwegian seafarers and maritime activity. The monument consists of square rock configured in a pyramide-like formation surrounded by 12 life size sculptures and a pool.

Sandviken
Between 'Hegreneset' and 'Skuteviken' lies a series of old boathouses and storehouses. These were originally used to store merchandise, primarily dried fish. The oldest houses in 'Sandviken' are dated to the middle of the 1600s. Like many other locations in Bergen it has been possible to buy fish directly for fishermen, a popular activity even today.
This painting is based on 'Sandviken', but do not represent a specific place or location.

Tollebussen
The very first bus route in Bergen was established in the 1890s with departure every 20 minutes between 'Rådstuplassen' and 'Tollbodallmenningen'. It was later given the nickname 'Tollebussen'. This painting is based on a photography by Olaf Andreas Svanøe, ca. 1890.

Byparken
The Central Park in Bergen, Norway. Here you can see the iconic pavilion at the center of the park, raised in 1888, surrounded by statues to honor people such as Edvard Grieg and Harald Sæverud. In the background you can see a part of the local art museum, containing artworks by Edvard Munch, Hans Gude, J. C. Dahl, Picasso, Christian Krogh, Nikolai Astrup, and more.
