About the artist

I am beyond thankful that you are spending time here to know more about me and my story as an contemporary artist based in Sweden. Art has always been a big part of me and it runs through my veins and in my family thanks to my grandmother Gun and her grandfather Valter. My aunt and my cousins are also artists so it has always been close to me growing up. Creating is my souls passion and i have always found ways to express my creativity in one way or another through my life besides painting. For example as a hairdresser in highschool, behind the camera, design the interior or decorating and working in clothingstores and furniturestores. But this past two years i needed to express myself in other ways and to find something that gave me mindfulness, calm and a way to be more present. A way to relax my mind and to nourish my soul. I needed to paint more than ever. So i challenged myself to let go of my requirements to perform that has been blocking me in so many ways, and started paint in mixed media materials and on cotton canvases, that has been something i wanted to do for a really long time. I have learned to love the process, not knowing the result, how the painting is going to end up because of the different turns it takes in the process. I never know how many layers it is going to be when i start on a painting and i never really know how many layers i have done when the painting is finished. It just comes alive during the process and for me thats a great charm with painting abstract art. I love to work with texture on my paintings and to make the painting come alive in different light settings by using matte and glowing colors on my artworks.

I have always felt that it increases my wellbeing and harmony to live in a home that i find beauty and feel good vibes in, and i wish to bring that same feeling to you and your home by sharing my passion for art and my paintings with you. I hope they will give you that feeling to.
