I’ve long held an interest for art. It started when I, as a child, watched my brother and friends draw, which inspired me to start drawing comic book characters myself. Over time, I moved on to hyperrealistic portraits, often using photographs by Steve McCurry as references. At the same time, I began exploring watercolor, even though I was still searching for my own artistic expression.

I went on to study Architecture in Umeå after highschool where I was introduced to life drawing for the first time. This sparked a strong interest in late 19th-century painting and artists such as John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn, Bastien-Lepage, and Bouguereau. From there, I began studying watercolor more seriously and continued to develop my drawing skills through figure drawing courses. After receiving my BFA I applied to Nyckelviksskolan in Stockholm to learn more about artistic expression. At the same time, I took figure drawing classes at Konstfack and attended courses in drawing and painting.

Today, I remain deeply committed to my watercolor painting while also developing my oil painting. My goal is to create paintings that appear abstract up close but take on a realistic quality from five steps away.
