About
At 53 years old, this artist has rediscovered their passion for drawing and painting, an interest that had begun in their youth and has since been revitalized over the past two years. Their creative portfolio showcases a blend of styles, encompassing both abstract artwork and more representational pieces.
In their approach to painting, they often combine oil and acrylic paints, particularly for their vibrant depictions of wildlife, while reserving acrylics for their abstract works. What draws this artist to abstract painting is the thrilling unpredictability of the creative process—an initial concept may evolve into an entirely different piece than originally envisioned, allowing for imaginative exploration and spontaneity.
The artist finds joy in the outcome of their creations, focusing on the essence of the painting itself rather than a strict adherence to the initial idea. This playful experimentation with different styles and mediums allows for a dynamic practice, where they seamlessly alternate between various projects, each revealing unique directions and possibilities. This dual focus on both abstract and representational art enriches their work and reflects a deep appreciation for the creative journey.

Inspiration
I have a very good imagination and often see several scenarios in my head at the same time. Often the mood determines which motif it will be, although it often starts with one thought and ends in a completely different one. This is the wonderful thing about painting, there is nothing that you "have" to do, you are free to just follow the brush. I am inspired by nature. Other artists' paintings are also very inspiring and give you many new ideas that you want to try.
I've taken a few courses in oil/acrylic, both physically and online. Otherwise it's been learning-by-doing.
I haven't been doing this for very long, but I have my first two paintings at an open exhibition in Nyköping this May/June
I usually start by creating a vibrant background with acrylic paints. I let the colors flow freely, which gives me a rich and dynamic foundation to work on. Once the background is done, I move on to rough painting the motif using acrylic. Then I switch to oil, I like painting motifs more with it.
For my abstract paintings, I often use sand as a texture. By mixing the sand with acrylic paint, I get a fun texture that makes the motif come to life a little more.
