Through physical exhibitions in Stockholm and our online marketplace, Artist Arena Market, we connect contemporary artists with collectors across the globe. We represent a diverse community – from emerging talents and growing voices to established names – and showcase original works in carefully selected and inspiring environments. Our mission is to build a positive, supportive community that empowers more artists to grow, reach new audiences, and pursue their dreams. For collectors, we offer direct access to unique contemporary art and the opportunity to invest in a wide range of artistic expression.

About

I’m a self-taught Swedish artist based in Stockholm. I have a background in graphic design and photography which has given me a strong foundation in composition and visual storytelling and has taught me to notice the small things — lines, textures, contrasts.
I’m drawn to abstract art and often begin without a plan—letting colors, texture, and emotion lead the way. I tend to gravitate toward darker tones, often incorporating coffee or sand to add depth and texture. I like when things feel a bit “gritty”—it shouldn’t be too perfect. For me, creating art is a way to find presence and stillness. I don’t strive for perfection, quite the opposite. I don’t want to overthink, I work fast and simply follow my intuition and emotions.

Beyond the Horizon

Inspiration

I’m inspired by nature and the shapes of everyday things – from the patterns and colors of tree bark to graffiti, wall doodles, and the details of a rusty piece of metal. I’m drawn to contrasts: the rough, slightly worn-down feel of urban environments, the vast sea and horizon of the archipelago, and the deep, dark forests of my childhood in northern Sweden.
