Information:

I was born 1969 in Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. I still live near Gothenburg but on the country side, near forest, lakes and the sea. Living near the nature is important to me. It makes me calm and creative.

I’ve been painting since I was six years old. I always loved to paint woman. It feels that I get to know the woman I paint and at the same time she is a part of me.

When I paint I have to be totally calm in myself. Before I start a new painting I relax for a couple of days, go out in the nature, listen to chill out music and meditate.

I usually start a painting with a thin acrylic background. Then I draw or paint the face in black. I use a layer of thin green colour as a first coat for the skin of the face, which makes the face look more alive. Then I make different layers and it has to dry every time. I do the same with the background. In the end of the painting it gets more dramatic and I’m “throwing” thick paint while the canvas is laying flat on the floor, with the risk to destroy everything I’ve done.

I like to paint beauty with strong, nice colours because it makes me happy. Hopefully my paintings can bring happiness in your life as well.
