About
Born in 1961 in the serene village of Öjebyn, located on the picturesque east coast of Piteå in Norrbotten, Sweden, the artist has cultivated a deep appreciation for the tranquility and simplicity of life in this northern region. Each season brings its own unique charm, which she cherishes, and her surroundings serve as a constant source of inspiration for her creative pursuits.
While she holds a special fondness for the peaceful landscapes of her hometown, she also enjoys the opportunity to explore the energy and vibrancy of urban environments. The contrasting experiences of city life, filled with vivid colors and dynamic sounds, allow her to gather new memories and perspectives, which she ultimately brings back to her tranquil artistic haven.
The artist invites all to explore her work further through her online gallery, available at konst.se/asawiksten. She welcomes inquiries and is eager to connect with those interested in her art. Step into her gallery and experience the beauty of her creations!

For a period I develop the motiv in my mind, always captured by a moment. I take my own photos for reference, or just imaginary pictures in my mind. I always strive towards beauty, even if the expression is complexed.
I am confident that other expressions will unfold as my journey continous.
When I have selected the artwork I wish to work on, the process is natural and flowing.
Preparing the materials, grounding and sketching, often alternating between more than one project. Painting in layers, regardless materials, oil, watercolour, or other. Sometimes very detailed, sometimes abstract with quick brushstrokes/scraping. I am always looking for the light, wishing that the viewer of my artwork mirrors that spark within themselves.
Enjoy!
