Artist Arena is a curated platform built by and for artists. 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 am a 37 year old girl from Strängnäs, Södermanland. I am a mother of a 15 year old son and lives with my partner and two cats. When I'm not painting, I work in nursing care for elderly. Otherwise you will find me the majority of my time in front of a painting. I also like interior design and DIY.

Inspiration

I am inspired by creation itself, to create beautiful things. I want to constantly develop and learn more. Since I'm fairly new in painting I do what I think looks nice or cool and continue from that and just go with the flow. Use normal feelings, thoughts or my life for inspiration
lately I have started to write short descriptions or stories related to my paintings, also use art to take a stand on various issues that are important to me

I am a self-taught painter, I have no art background or education but evolving in my art by experiment in different methods.

I am an abstract painter and I paint in acrylics most of the time, but also use other technique like charcoal, soft pastells and coffee into my work. I work most of the time in natural tones and earthy colors.

I never know what to paint when I start, but I try to figure it out as I go. I save what I like and paint over what I don't like. I just go with flow and try to create something I like. I think I have a good eye for fine details and I continue to create from that.
