About
I have studied art in Paris and Stockholm and then went on to complete a master of fine arts in industrial design from the School of Design and Crafts at the University of Gothenburg. My career developed in the field of academic research in design, where I have been a pioneer in service design in the public sector.
More recently I have reconnected to my artistic practice where I find tremendous joy and satisfaction in exploring how colour and composition unfold. Today, in addition to my artistic practice, I continue to work part-time in social innovation and sustainability whilst also managing the family farm outside Örebro.
Thoughts in the dawn
Inspiration
My visual world has an intuitive foundation where colour and form are the starting points. It is often possible to discern a landscape, a road, a passage that leads from one place to another, from one state to another, and the transformation in between. Through my creative process, I gain insights into thoughts, events, and feelings that were previously hidden from me. My images invite you as a viewer to feel, interpret, and discover the artworks through your own experiences.
I explore passages as places and states of transformation. We constantly move from activity to stillness, from darkness to light, and from stability to volatility. Sometimes, the image opens to another place, another emotional state. It is perhaps in these in-between spaces that life is most present.
During the 90s, I studied art in Paris and Stockholm and I hold a PhD in industrial design from the School of Design and Crafts at the University of Gothenburg.

Abstract colourful acrylics on canvas, paper, wood panel, and mixed media, collage, watercolor
I work in many layers, starting out with various marks and often very liquid paint; watered acrylics or diluted pigments. When I start to build the picture, it becomes a question of colour balance and composition; adding on opaque and yet also transparent layers. Moving between losing control in intuitive spurts and regaining control by conscious placing of shapes and colours.
Somewhere in the midst of this process the theme, title or content of the image emerges, giving me knowledge of what the piece is about.
So far, I have never known what the end-result would be, when I start and as far as I know I couldn't recreate any of my images.
