About

I am a Swedish 16 year old student who is born and raised in Stockholm. I’ve always had a sense for art and been really good at photoshop manipulation from a young age as well as getting top grade in art class in school. I’ve been painting for about 2 years and been painting at least a couple hours ever since. I hope to grow my art and audience as much as possible in the future.

Inspiration

I mostly find my inspiration on social media such as TikTok, instagram and Pinterest. For my acrylic paintings i mainly go for feeling and for my coal pieces i try to find cool and emotionally filled pictures which I try to replicate as much as possible to really catch a glimpse of realism.

No art education for me at the minute but I’m thinking of taking art class in my high school.

exhibition at Kristineberg showroom in september with some coal pieces, other than that no clear projects. Excited too see what the fall brings to my inspiration.

Charcoal mainly but sometimes i try to develop my acrylic and oil control. But I feel my strong sides are handling coal paintings.

Find a good reference image that i load up in photoshop where I tweak til a near perfect online sketch. Later on I try to get it down on canvas using the grid method or get the lines down with a projector. Then start shading the needed areas and paint whereever I need to paint. During this i constantly look over at my reference to catch all the small details which I wouldn’t add otherwise.
