About
My name is Jannike Simonsson (born 1981) and I am an artist/framer who lives and works in Stockholm.
I use mostly reused material such as newspapers, photograhps, card board, old reciepts and play a lot with watercolour and pens on top of that. I normally let the material (and the old upcycled frames) lead the way to the motives.
I have a framing shop and art boutique in Lidingö and have a Master's Certificate in framing, besides my artist caréer.
I have exhibited my art in various locations over the last 20 years, and is a member of Hantverkarna Stockholm.
Abstrakt I
Inspiration
I like artists like Gösta Adrian Nilsson, Fernand Legér, Otto G Carlsund, Sonia Delauney; great modernists who lived and worked in the beginning of 1900. The colours, the figures, the abstract forms. The material it self also inspires me, if I see a beautiful piece of ripped paper for example, I feel the need to use it somehow. Also combined with a perfectly matched frame.

All sorts of paper, wood and cardboard. Watercolours, acrylic pain, pencils.
I glue paper on top of each other, to make an interesting abstract figure. I mix and match colors and lines to make the artpiece dynamic and balanced.
Since my pieces art quite small, I often have a bigger matt board a round, and some times an extra ordinary frame.
