About

I began my artistic career about 20 years ago while living in Vienna, Austria, where I held two major exhibitions. The first, a solo show called The Symmetry Devil, featured twelve works accompanied by music I helped create, enhanced by dancers and a laser show. The second, a group exhibition, Wien durchsieben, included five works, among them an armchair and a sculpture. The other pieces were made of metal, foil, plexiglass, and photography. My work was seen as powerful and distinct. I find joy in abstract expression, creating depth through materials, contrasts, and textures. I frequently return to metals, plexiglass, foil, photography, and layered translucent materials, and also work with acrylic, oil, and charcoal. Muted tones attract me, their impact heightened through contrast. I am also interested in design, having created an armchair in sheet metal and leather, as well as interior objects and lamps in brass wire. Art has been on hold, but for the past two years, I have finally been able to give it the focus I longed for. I am grateful that my artistic spirit remains intact and proud that I have presented my work in exhibitions during these last two years.

The Burning Curve

Inspiration

Details that I see everywhere in the form of transitions, nuances, structures, and shifts. Literature, where the power of words invigorates. Music as well. To a great extent, I find strength and space through a constant intake of influences born of my curiosity and openness to seeing and listening. Then, in silence, I reflect and transform, feel the joy of creation, and begin.

Artistic and practical: courses in sculpture, silversmithing, fine art printmaking and abstract painting.
Theoretical: Mechanical engineering and studies in Interior Design.

2026: Exhibition in the beginning of March at Luftkastellet, Malmö. Vernissage in my studio, malou.artform, in the end of March.

Installations. Photography. Painting. Collage. Mixed media. Casting.

I work intuitively and allow the artwork to move in different directions throughout the process. I have shifted from being highly abstract toward a more expressionistic approach.
