Born 1982 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Architect, artist, illustrator. Am interested in marrying the closely related fields of architecture, illustration and art. Communication through images, that's what it's all about!

| About the Artist |
I paint mostly watercolours, I am intrigued and challenged by the unpredictability of the medium. I always feel there is something new to learn, a perfect painting waiting around the corner.
I also work in digital media, draw a lot by hand and do some oil painting and acrylics. |
