Torkil began his first work with flowers in the 1990s, a personal project to give respite from his commercial work. By employing the artifice of sophisticated studio lighting techniques on the flowers, he says, "I translate them into my fantasy world." He allows us to see flowers as if for the first time: I swear I can smell these blooms. His extraordinary eye and incandescent imagination allow us to experience the crazy power, sensuousness, energy, and strength that flowers exert - the potent magic that galvanized Torkil's Danish winters into kaleidoscopic explosions of color, fragrance and rapture.
