About
During the 90s, I studied art in Paris and Stockholm and hold a degree in industrial design from the School of Design and Crafts at the University of Gothenburg. The carrier then led to academic research in design, where I have been a pioneer in service design and the public sector. Today, in addition to my artistic practice, I work part-time with social innovation and sustainability and manage the family farm outside Örebro.
Since a few years I have reconnected to my artistic practice where I find tremendous joy and satisfaction in exploring how color and composition unfold.
Thoughts in the dawn
Inspiration
My visual world has an intuitive foundation where color 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 state. It is perhaps in these in-between spaces that life is most present.

I work in many layers, starting out with various marks and often very liquid paint. Watered acrylics or diluted pigments. Then I start to build the picture, it becomes a question of color balance and composition. Adding on opaque layers and yet transparent. Moving between loosing control in intuitive spurs and regaining control by conscious placing shapes and colors.
Somewhere in the midst of this process the theme, title or content of the image emerges, giving me hint of what this is actually about.
So far I have never known what the end-result would be, and as far as I know I couldn't recreate any of my images.
