“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.
What if you knew
What if you knew
that this was
the very last
you would know
in this life?
What if this
was your last breath
and you
could no longer stroke your hands
over the cheek
of the one you cherish?
What if you
had one more day?
One more day
in your life
that belonged
only to you, i
n the name of love,
without longing?

The Labyrinths
of the heart
The Labyrinths of the Heart
polished
Shining bright
gleaming like gold
In the glow
illusions fade
emerging from the darkness
And you
you can see yourself
in your own eyes
and say
YES
— Kari Hestnes
Eternal hunger
Murmuring
Growling
lying hungry
and gnawing
Gnawing
for love
for the warm embrace
of caring thoughts
a mother’s gentle gaze
soft hands
a nourishing moment
Will there ever be enough
of what you never received?
— Kari Hestnes
The words
My words
carry me i
n wilderness
and understanding
They often confuse me
and perhaps
bring me safely
to harbor
Who am I,
as a human
this confused being
here on earth?
In the world,
I am small
but eternity dwells
within me
— Kari Hestnes
With bare toes
Strange, wonderful
the cry of eternity
echoes in the walls
as you
walk on dope
Who are you, human?
Where are you going?
Why do you sit so endlessly trapped?
Take a pause
Feel who you are
Don’t tread anymore
on your own toes
Run barefoot
in the free nature
Feel that you live
and breathe
with God
— Kari Hestnes
Deep inside
To feel within
deep inside
is not so easy
when something
always knocks at the door
Calls you there
where everyday thoughts
shout louder than
a whispering voice
that is easy to forget
Do you remember it?
The door is always ajar
whispering promises
that cross all chasms
to the song of the soul
— Kari Hestnes

How
How
can I meet you,
as I think
I know you
in and ou
with fresh eyes
each time I see you?
How can I
love you
as I believe
I have loved
for many years
without loving you
as I always have
but loving you
anew every single second?
