Balance of movement & harmony

Art for me is about life

The passion to draw and paint has always existed since childhood, being creative is as important to me as breathing. It gives me nourishment for life, inspiration and lots of good energy. Over the years, I have taken various courses in painting and personal development to develop my creativity. For a period I took a break from professional life to attend a basic art education at Munka Ljungby’s Folk College, it was after that that my exhibitions began.

In my painting I try to capture a feeling, an expression, a movement or just something that feels exciting and good. Trying to find balance and harmony between colors and shapes and light and dark. The paintings are usually abstract, which gives the viewer the freedom to create their own room. The technique is in large format acrylic on linen, where I work with different techniques to create something unpredictable. I use everything but a brush. In the watercolor technique, I am constantly fascinated by the relationship between color and water, something new and exciting is formed that usually cannot be controlled. I love when it just happens!

Empowering the human spirit

Through my creation, I get an outlet for my creativity and when the flow occurs, I feel great gratitude both in small and big ways. Letting go of time and space brings a well-being to life. It is that state that propels me forward and it also feeds my inspiration and the inner power that resides within me. Very rarely are my motives predetermined. For the most part, it is my feelings and experiences that guide me in my painting process. Each painting has its own story and an inner expression that is up to the viewer to find.

OM MIG

Coincidence & patience

In my works I use either watercolor or acrylic paint. I play freely with the colors to create different effects, I have water and different scrapers to help me, I rarely use a brush when I paint with acrylic paint. I turn and twist the painting several times during a process and it can also be that I have many different paintings going on at the same time, when I least expect it, it happens that chance helps me complete a painting. It just feels good in the heart when a painting is finished and it can take a different amount of time. Patience and chance are my best friends in the process.
