I'm a mixed media artist (digital, acrylics, fluids, photography, pencils, scans), currently living in Svedala, Sweden. My dark, abstract and surreal works reaches the far outskirts of behavior, cognition, disorders and intellect. For me, the unknown, cold and quiet world that is without colors is a place of solitude and strength. It is here, in the dark corners, you’ll find the true nature of things – it is also here the mind evolves beyond our understanding.

I approach the canvas by carefully dismantling the physical to elevate the psychological and conceive something which is both dark and beautiful.

My art is usually in black and white to induce a strong contrast between different emotions and state of minds. This contrast is my most important tool in achieving a raw and stripped down portrait of a person. Colors can be distracting while black and white lets you focus on the relationship between important core elements and bring light and subject together.

I have studied mathematics, physics, biomedical science and pharmacology at university and is currently working with aseptic production of pharmaceuticals in Malmö. I'm a long-time vegetarian and a casual runner with a passion for various modern classical music.
