"Swimmer," Acrylic on Paper, 30 x 40 cm

🎤What sparks your inspiration to create a new piece?🎤

​"My work is created sub- and unconsciously.
A mood or form begins to take shape and if it starts to 'come to life' I continue working on it."

"Blue Bird," Acrylic on Paper, 30 x 40 cm

🎤What has been your most important artistic failure?🎤

"I can´t name any one specific big failure, but every completed work of mine has failure in some way.
Failures are part of the process."

"Spiagga," Acrylic on Paper, 40 x 40 cm

🎤 The most challenging part of your creative process?🎤

"The temptation to attention-grabbing solutions,
such as bright colors, provocative or topical content.

​However, instead of quick, easy and cheap attention, I believe in slower and longer-term,
more complex and harmonious work."

"Sad Bird," Acrylic on Paper, 30 x 40 cm

🎤Do you have a routine, or do you work in bursts?🎤

"My everyday work as a graphic designer is brutally precise and limited in many ways,
so when painting I want to be totally free.

​I try to avoid calculation and all kinds of obstacles.
To do what the mind produces and where the brush takes me."​

"Puffin," Acrylic on Paper, 30 x 40 cm
