I have been painting all my life, dreaming of being an artist since childhood. I am more or less an autodidact.
I was born in 1970 in Malmo, Sweden, grew up in the Goteborg region and moved to Cyprus in 1990, where I am still residing.
For many years now, I have been painting close-up pictures of flowers:
“Look closely at a flower, really close, and you'll discover a new world that consists of stamen, pistils, pollen and petals. A whole universe in every blossom. From the flower a seed is born, bursting with the power of life, ready to grow, stretching towards the sun and creating a perfect piece of art- a new flower; which in turn produces new seeds, linked to the chain of eternity and life force. Mother nature gives us this surplus of vibrant, living, colorful creations of art, filled with life, pure outlines and fantastic shapes.
i want to freeze an instant of their beauty, place it under a magnifying glass and in the details see the entirety and greatness in this micro cosmos.“
I also create abstract paintings:
“ When i paint abstract I try not to think too much. Instead I let my intuition guide me. I find that the creative force inside me flows freely when I shut off the mind chatter and paint with my heart. I don’t consciously put symbolism into my paintings, nor do I name them. I may see one thing in a picture, while someone else sees something entirely different. Both interpretations are equally correct. And not trying to interpret a painting is okay too. Go with your gut feeling and allow yourself to be swept away by the colours and the brush strokes. The colours have a life of their own.”
My paintings have been exhibited widely in many shows such as; Schomburg Gallery Los Angeles, A Gallery Sweden, Karen Lynne Gallery Miami, Apocalypse Gallery Cyprus, Galerie Foxx Switzerland, Affordable Art Fair London, Galleri Bergström Sweden, Väsby Konsthall Sweden, Sturup Airport Sweden, Royal Collage of Art London, etc, and my paintings are included in many private art collections all over the world.
