I am a painter who lives and works in Göteborg, Sweden.
In my work, I try to merge classical technical skill with my own artistic expression, and I'm equally influenced by pop culture and old masters.
I would describe my work as snapshots of personal symbolism, or a visual manifestation of unarticulated feelings. To me, painting is a highly intuitive process, which I try to keep as free from imposed restrictions on style or content as possible. I often find that the work seems to have a life of its own, and I can’t dictate the direction. Instead, I try to follow where the painting leads me, and the creation becomes a journey of discovery through the act of painting.
I paint mostly figuratively, but abstraction is fundamentally important to me; in the relationship between form and flatness, line and mass, unification and fragmentation. By these means I try to find my way to an image that sits on the edge between harmony and dissonance.
