About My Painting
I paint watercolor landscapes as a way to translate lived moments in nature into light, atmosphere, and rhythm. Working from my own photographs of Nordic surroundings, I simplify the scene into clear value-shapes and let edges shift—soft, hard, and lost-and-found—to create presence and depth. My process balances surrender and structure: I invite the medium to move, then refine what matters, aiming for paintings that hold a quiet sense of being part of something larger.
I’m inspired by artists such as Ylva Carlgren, Olafur Eliasson, Anish Kapoor, Marc Folly, Trevor Chamberlain, Richard Thorn, Nicolas Lopez, David Lidbetter, Andy Evansen, Harry Brioche, Nita Engle, and Mitchell Albala. What they share is a painting practice that moves between control and dissolution, structure and flow—the balance I’m chasing myself.
In my day-to-day work, I’m a visual communicator at the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship, which has made me quite strict about composition and simplicity.
