Educations in art: First of all I am an autodidact in painting,just some evening classes long before I started off with painting.
Then I went to different photographers classes and worked for some time with my teacher Istvan Gubaz with studio photos.I also graduated as a media-pedagogue.After that I worked a very short time(due to a cronically pain that lasted for several years) in one of Uppsalas greatest portrait-studios.
My story: Once upon a time, I was born in the middle of Sweden . After a time moving here and there from the north to the south and back again, my parents, me, my little sister and my big brother finally ended up in a small place between Upsala and Gefle where I spent my teenage-years. I became more and more drawn to an interest in the "great questions of Life" For example; "who am I?" and "what is Life?" In short....I was a "seeker".
That seeking led me to India in 1980. After my homecoming I worked as a preschool-teacher. After a while my creative longing got to strong and I became a photographer.That lasted for about 7 years and resulted in 4 different exhibitions in Stockholm, where I have been living since 1981. Then I had a mystical experience and started to paint symbolical animals influenced by native American thinking mixed with Eastern thinking.
After doing symbolic paintings of animals for 7 years I began to paint some other things, like angels and fairies. My style of painting have recently gone more into "free painting" and have no idea what I am going to paint when I start with a new painting.Somehow the animals often keep coming into my paintings and they continue to be loaded with symbolic meanings.Since 1995 there has been about 20 exhibitions, most of them in Stockholm.
In the slideshows below you can see some of my paintings.
My paintings is also found at different book and magazine-covers as well as at private collectors.The swedish singer Tommy Körberg (one of the lead singers in the musical Chess) is one of them and his collection is presented in the book "Swedish Collectors"(Svenska samlare)
