“Design, drawing, painting and photography
has been a part of my life for many years.
Then one day, out of the blue, the words knocked on the door"
Kari
For me, art is a way to get closer to myself.
Perhaps you will also come closer to yourself
if you allow a quiet moment with my words and pictures.
For a better visual experience, take a look on a tablet or PC.
In a single NOW
— Kari Hestnes
What if you knew
What if you knew
that this
was the very last
you knew
in this life
What if this was
your last breath
and you no longer
got to stroke your hands
over the cheek
to the one you love
What if you got
one more day
One more day
in your life
which was only yours
in the name of love
without fail
— Kari Hestnes
The wanderings of the heart
The wanderings of the heart
polished
Shiny shiny
shiny as gold
In the leather
fades the illusions
emerges from the darkness
And you
you can see yourself
in the eyes
and say
YES
— Kari Hestnes
Eternal hunger
Murmuring
Growling
lies hungry and gnawing
Craving for love
after the warm embrace of care
mother's seeing eye
soft hands
a nurturing moment
Will it ever be enough
of what you never got
— Kari Hestnes
My words carry me
in will and sense
They like to confuse me
and maybe
carries me to port
But who am I as a person?
the confused being
here on earth
In the world I am small
but eternity in me dwells
The words
My words carry me
in will and sense
They like to confuse me
and maybe
carries me to port
But who am I as a person?
the confused being
here on earth
In the world I am small
but eternity in me dwells
— Kari Hestnes
With bare toes
Amazingly amazing
the cry of eternity
rattles in the walls
while on drugs
Who are you human?
Where are you going?
Why are you sitting?
so endlessly in a hug
Take a break
Know who you are
Do not step any further
on your own toes
Run barefoot instead
in the free nature
Know that you are alive
and breathe with God
— Kari Hestnes
Deep inside
To know inside
deep inside
is not so easy
when something always
on the door knocks
Calling you there
where everyday thoughts
shout louder
than a whispering voice
which is easy to forget
Do you remember it
the door is always clamped
whispering promises
which crosses all chasms
to the song of the soul
— Kari Hestnes
How
can i meet you
that I think I know
out and in
with new eyes
every single time i see you
How
can i love you
as I believe
i have loved
for many years
Without loving you
as I have always done
but love you
again
every little bit
second
