My career in the art business started in Italy where I worked as a PR manager in my own publishing company. The company published art books and our clients could be found in southern European countries such as Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France. We offered our clients a complete solution, from the idea of the art catalogue to the editing and publishing. I worked very close with many companies that was in need of a multi lingual expertise to present their products and services.

2010 I founded Harp Art Lab with Mikael Ericsson. It's a artlab located in the fully restored Harplinge Windmill on the Swedish west coast. Our main ambition is to invite artists to make new works in this historical building. We want to create collaborations on a international level. Harp Art Lab is not a traditional art gallery, it's a platform for developing, innovative, interdisciplinary ideas and make them come true.

For the last ten years I have been working full time as an artist. I am an artist with a very broad field of artistical expressions. Over the years I have worked with painting, music, photography and sculpture. I would define my creations with one word, improvised. In my opinion the less planning there is the more personal the creation will be. I has been exhibited in art galleries in Sweden, Spain, France, Belgium and Italy.

Some of my early works represented paintings of the Scandinavian mythology. I created everything from small paintings to very big oil paintings. Each representing a part of the fascinating Scandinavian mythology. I consider my self lucky to be living in such an historical place as southern Sweden. I'm surrounded by history and especially history that is closely related to the vikings and Scandinavian mythology.

I have created sculptures from various materials for many years. Last year I made a new series of sculptures called "Mill Pieces". I found the inspiration when I bought a windmill on the Swedish West Coast. The people that once worked in the windmill left a great amount of materials behind them, abandoned pieces of the windmill. I collected many of these unique items and gave them my personal touch. I transformed wood, cast iron and plastic to very powerful and emotional sculptures.

My latest works consist in photographies, focusing on the natural Swedish environment, sometimes the untouched nature. My photographical work doesn't consist in chasing moments to get on camera, but it consists of what happens around me. The ambition with this works is to capture what my eyes and my mind meets every day, and by not chasing or controlling the moments I shoot makes the photographies extremely powerful. The ever-changing nature around us is a great object to work with. The enviroment is in a continuing movement which give me the opportunity to find new inspiriing subjects for my art every day.
