I was born and raised in Sweden and have been captivated by the power and beauty of painting since a young age.

I find comfort in the ambiguity of abstract expression, which invites the viewers to project their own feelings onto the artwork.

As a vehicle to take you to some other place.

It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.

My work reflects my life experiences, emotions and interpretations of the world around me.

I mostly use a squeegee made out of plexiglass to manipulate the oil paint in ways that are both chaotic and controlled, achieving a sense of fluidity and depth. This method allows for both planned and spontaneous elements, a reflection of my belief in the role of chance in the creative process.

The interplay of colors and the physicality of the process result in paintings that are both vibrant and evocative.
