MY ART
My art encompasses three distinct expressions: Space Art, Punto a Punto and Ocean Art.
I primarily create original watercolor and acrylic paintings, exploring color, contrast and intricate details to achieve depth and a distinctive character. Alongside my Space Art, I also work with abstract compositions featuring gold and handmade paper, as well as art inspired by the sea and Sweden's west coast.
Here you can discover the different aspects of my artistic work.

SPACE ART
Space Art is my main artistic focus. I create abstract original paintings in watercolor and acrylic on high-quality watercolor paper, often incorporating gold, pencil details and striking contrasts.
My inspiration comes from the infinite forms and structures of space, as well as the smaller details found in nature and my surroundings. Through transparent layers of color, circles, fine lines and subtle details, I build compositions with depth and movement.
Each painting develops through a combination of intention and experimentation. The result is a unique original artwork with a distinctive interplay of color, contrast and intricate details.
I work on high-quality, acid-free watercolor paper, allowing the characteristics of the paper and pigments to become an integral part of each finished piece.

OCEAN ART
The sea and coastal landscape of Särö, just south of Gothenburg on Sweden's west coast, have inspired me to create a collection of artworks using blue mussel shells and other natural materials.
During my walks along the shore, I collect mussel shells and seashells that catch my attention through their shapes, colors and textures. After carefully cleaning and sorting them, I arrange them into unique compositions that highlight the beauty of their natural details.
The deep blue shades, subtle sheen and varied shapes of the mussel shells give each artwork its own distinctive character.
My Ocean Art collection includes decorative wall pieces and other objects, transforming materials from the sea into new artistic expressions.
Selected works are also available as signed, limited-edition Fine Art Prints.

PUNTO A PUNTO | ABSTRACT ART
Punto a Punto is a series of abstract original paintings created with acrylic and gold on handmade Indian cotton paper.
The paper's naturally torn edges and distinctive texture are essential elements of each artwork. By building the compositions point by point, I create an interplay of shapes, movement and light.
Gold adds another dimension. As the light changes throughout the day, different details emerge, giving each painting a subtly shifting appearance.
Every piece is unique, combining the character of handmade paper with a contemporary abstract expression. The result is original art with a distinctive sense of texture and material.
