Time and again, Holm takes up existential themes
with a location set in nature. Scenes that In most
cases, views a human being portrayed in the
wilderness, living within a sense of solitude. The
scenery often forms a slightly threatening dark forest.
In doing so, he establishes a closeness to the Nordic
theme of the romantic period of painting tradition,
which is never to be expelled from the artists
consciousness..
With his expressive, impasto painting, Holm gives our
yearning for our “Into the wild” moment a lasting
expression. Through the powerful presence of the
trees, the artist also obscures the view into the
depths and thus also addresses the break in the
harmonious unity of man and nature.
