About
I am a visual creator who primarily employs oil paints to delve into the intricate interplay between color, light, and memory in shaping emotional experiences. I would like to describe my work as "abstract dreamy," as it seeks to capture the ethereal essence of dreams, emotions, and distant memories that often possess an abstract quality. Through my paintings, I endeavour to translate these intangible concepts into vivid visual representations, inviting viewers to engage with and interpret the layers of sentiment embedded within each piece. With a genuine hope that my art resonates with others, I aim to create a connection between my work and the emotions it evokes for the viewer.

Inspiration
I have so many different sources of inspiration!
Sometimes the initial idea come from a first hand experience, or it could evolve from a specific scenery that stayed with me or created a lasting emotion or image in my head. It could also be from a photo I have taken, and that I like, or it could be a quote from a book or a tune from a song.
I find it inspiring to surround myself with creativity, and with creative people with positive and open minds.
I have a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, from the University of Linköping.

I would be honoured to have you there for my first exhibition!
Since I have not had any professional training or schooling since I was a kid, I am still learning and exploring different techniques. I work with oil, just because that is what I have done earlier, but I would like to also try the acrylic path along the way.
I use different application tools, mixing brushes with knifes or spunges. But, I am always willing to learn and be inspired to continue to develop!
The painting normally slowly begins to evolve independently of the original vision, but always starting with an initial texture, tone, and brushwork to shape the overall idea and structure. I like to think the viewer will be able to somehow see my original "dreamy" image, the vision in my head, or the emotion that once started the piece, and how it has slowly been transferred from my head into a physical piece on the canvas. I am fascinated by colours, and how it impacts emotions, and I like how subtle variations in hue or shadow can totally change the emotional weight of a piece. The process is intuitive and open-ended, where no painting is ever completed exactly as imagined originally in my head, allowing each work to develop its own emotional resonance through the interplay of my memories, different lights and colours.
