I create art to express presence, soul, and energy.

Each painting emerges from a place of inner stillness — in dialogue with the rhythms of nature and the energy that flows through all living things.

Rather than pushing for results, I allow the work to unfold intuitively, layer by layer. Just like in nature, there are moments of blooming and resting, light and shadow, movement and silence. My paintings are shaped by this organic flow — a dance between emotion, energy, and form.

Oil paint is my primary medium. I work slowly, allowing color to guide me and textures to speak. Through this process, I create dreamlike, grounded works that hold space for stillness, clarity, and transformation.

At the core of my work is a deep longing for harmony — with nature, with others, and with our inner world. I believe we all carry an inner rhythm, a quiet pulse beneath the surface, and when we honor that rhythm, we begin to live from a place of grounded truth.

My art is a reflection of that journey.

A return to breath.
A return to body.
A return to self.

I live and work in Stockholm, Sweden. My paintings have been exhibited at NK Stockholm and featured in British Vogue. I offer both original works and bespoke commissions created for specific spaces and energies, and I work with collectors and clients internationally.

Thank you for being here. I hope my art speaks to something true in you.
