About

At 34 years old, this emerging artist resides in Stockholm with two beloved cats. Throughout their life, they have nurtured a passion for crafting with beads, though it wasn't until recently that they fully embraced the medium's potential. Inspired by the concept of creating art on a grand scale, they envisioned transforming iconic LP album covers into captivating wall art. This idea came to fruition with their first project: a beadwork rendition of Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories," crafted in collaboration with a cousin. The experience ignited a creative spark, leading them to focus primarily on album covers while also exploring diverse themes in their work. They have ventured into creating miniature movie posters and have even produced a charming portrait of a dog. With each new project, their artistic vision expands, and they relish the boundless creativity that beads can offer.

Inspiration

Their biggest source of inspiration is music. They find deep joy in recreating album covers while listening to the very music that inspired them — it’s a way to connect visually and emotionally with the sound. Music isn’t just background noise for them; it’s a core part of who they are. Live concerts, especially, are something they truly treasure — both in time and money, it’s where their heart goes.

Another strong source of inspiration is the artist Pappas Pärlor. They’re especially drawn to his stop-motion films made with beads — a playful, detailed art form that really speaks to their creative side.
