Born in Avesta, Sweden and raised at an idyllic place by the Dalecarlia River, the influences of nature early became my greatest source of inspiration.
Studying abstract painting under the eminent artists Emilio Vedova and Zao Wou-Ki, my style became an interesting combination of west and east, a mixture of poetic compositions, rhythm and texture. In my 3-dimensional paintings, I experiment with different materials, for example dried sea-algae from the Swedish west coast. I have participated in more than forty solo and group exhibitions all over the world and I am represented in numerous collections.
