About
I’m a contemporary abstract artist based in Sweden.
I paint what things feel like, not what they look like. A coastline seen from 30,000 feet. The way light shifts across a field in the hour before dark. The aliveness that finds you in wild places, before you’ve thought to name it. These are the starting points. What happens next belongs to memory, intuition, and paint.
I want my paintings to reward time. Not to be understood immediately, but to open slowly, to offer something different depending on how close you stand, how long you stay, what you bring with you.
Each painting is an invitation, not an explanation.

Inspiration
The visual language I return to, aerial photographs and topographical lines, is interpreted through emotion and imagination into a kind of inner landscape. Here the geographical meets the emotional, landscapes become tactile states of mind and directions are shaped by intuition rather than logic.

I mainly use oil sticks for their directness, their refusal to be tentative: they demand commitment, and that pressure keeps the work honest. I build paintings in layers, adding and obscuring, letting earlier decisions show through or disappear.
I am drawn to the tension between control and surrender, between the deliberate mark and the one that surprises you. My work lives in that space. The result is rarely what I set out to make, and that is precisely the point.
