My creation
I invite you to a world where textures and repeated patterns shape abstract landscapes that carry the rhythm of nature within them.
In my work, the permanent – stones, mountains, and deep structures – meets the fleeting and ever-changing: waves, movement, and weather as it shifts over time.
I used to paint with photographic precision, but over the years I've been drawn to the freer territory of abstract art. The materials and techniques vary – from sheet metal to hardboard and linen canvas – and I most often work with acrylics and ink, as well as Japanese paper. My subjects are created both indoors and outdoors, near the coast in Gothenburg.
Through layer upon layer processes, I refine and develop each work. When the image begins to communicate and takes on a life of its own, I seal the surface and complete the process. The result is a collection of refined, aesthetic works where nature and human intention meet.
I handcraft the frames from iron or finished oak, which enhances the tactile presence of the works. My art often appeals to customers with an interest in design and interior decorating, and many paintings are developed as custom pieces in close collaboration with the client.
My works are in private collections in Sweden, Norway, England, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Monaco, and Spain.
Order by request
If you're thinking about a bespoke measure with custom color tones, read this.
Special order from a private customer. Here I have synchronized both format and color choice with the customer for this interior from legendary Minotti. The artwork, which is on sheet metal in 2800 x 1200 mm format, picks up the surrounding unsaturated colors.
I discussed the choice of materials with the customer and it fell on oxidized sheet metal with acrylic and ink and a solid iron frame around it.
To start, I took a photo of the wall and took measurements. Then I sketched different sizes in Photoshop and the customer got to see suggestions. Then as a black frame with a single-colored field only. After the customer decided on the size of the motif, I sketched the color scheme in general in Photoshop and we came up with what tones the motif should contain.
Then it was time to create the artwork and weld the frame.
I sent pictures to the customer as I went along and when the subject was ready for 70 %, the customer had to come and look to comment on whether the subject should be lighter or darker etc. When the artwork was ready in the studio, the customer approved the motif. I mounted everything in the frame and brought the metal brackets and the whole artwork weighing 65 kg to the final destination. After assembling the brackets and lifting the artwork together, everything ended up in place, exactly as sketched.
Satisfied customer and satisfied artist.

Elements of the beginning 2025
Concluded spring exhibition at Gallery A41 in Gothenburg.
In Elements of the Beginning (31 artworks), I approach the first breath of the earth - the time when matter, energy and motion had not yet separated. The works are born out of a fascination with the power of origins: how everything comes into being, changes and dissolves in a constant cycle of becoming.
Through layers of color, texture and light, I seek the moment where the solid meets the ephemeral - where the weight of stone merges with the movement of mist, where fire, water, air and earth still speak the same language. In these encounters, the rhythm of nature emerges, the hidden pulse that shapes all living things and at the same time reminds us how fragile and temporary every form is.
The exhibition is a journey through the origins of the elements and the interplay between creation and dissolution. It bears traces of storm and stillness, of volcanic heat and icy silence - but also of the poetic space in between. Elements of the Beginning is an interpretation of the beginning of the world, but also of each new moment when something takes shape for the first time.
Art inspired by the structures of nature
Nature has always been my greatest source of inspiration. I am fascinated by the constancy of nature, but also by the ephemeral, such as a wave that flashes or the light that wanders during a temporary change of weather. Since I often create on oxidized sheet metal and with a lot of water and with long drying times, the natural process takes place in the creation
