I have had a number of sold-out exhibitions both in Sweden and in the US over the years.
Naked bodies are the main trail. The inspiration comes from the life I live and its contrasts, with the simple countryside in Småland, Stockholm's intense city life to Barcelona's artistic pulse. And all the trips to it that are so often filled with inspiration.
I always try to have a common thread in my work and each art has its own little story.
Painting is my therapy. Throughout, the art is nude, often a bit disproportionate with strong colors as a background.
The art often provokes and it has happened that exhibitions have been taken down.
If people went unnoticed, I would see it as a failure.
I want to touch. And hopefully my sense of color and emotion can do just that.
