About

Born 2005. Stockholm City, Good kid mad city.
I don’t make art to fit in – I make it to take over. Every piece I create demands attention, bringing power, luxury, and raw emotion to life. Step into my world, feel the energy, and let it speak for itself. My work is my statement, a reflection of everything I've fought through and risen above. If you’re ready to see art that commands presence, you’ve found it. My art isn’t just seen – it’s felt, it’s lived, and it won’t let you forget it.

Inspiration

This is some of the inspiration I use very often!

Music genres: HipHop, RnB and Orchestration.
Artists: Future, Kendrick Lamar, Westside Gunna, Childish Gambino and John Williams.
Music videos by Kendrick Lamar: (N95, Count me out, Humble, DNA, backseat freestyle)
Cities: Stockholm (Architcture), Vienna (Architcture), New York (Aesthetic and culture), Berlin (Aesthetic and History).

I paint in order from light, dark and then the middle tones. Its easier for me to paint the middle tones last, because when I put the light and the darkest tones on the canvas first, its easier to see what shade of middle tones is needed to bring the canvas to life.

Everything around us can be used as inspiration, it just depends on how we chose to observe it. I like to take photos of city environments. But the most common thing I chose to take inspiration from is music, due to its easy accessibility. Listen to the beat, the voice and catch the feeling. It helps to make up a story in my head with the music in mind, often it's about myself even if the artwork is not about me or a specifik person it helps me to keep the artwork through a redline.

A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION HAS COME TO MY MIND! it can be anything, a song or something ive witnessed during the day.

I start to create a visual idea in my mind, what colors matches with the idea I have? is it a portrait of a person? When I sort of have made up in my mind what my goal is, everything I have to do is to put the brush on the canvas. Sometimes it's good to leave some questions to your imagination and momentum.
