2. Why art?
For me, creating is both intuitive and emotional – a kind of dialogue between colour, movement and feeling. I often work with music in the background, and let the rhythms influence how the brush moves across the canvas. As much as the nature in Kullabygden inspires me – the light, the landscape, and the stillness – the music and the mood of the moment also influence how a work develops.
My artistic journey began with a whim: one day, I bought watercolor paper and drove to the coast. I sat down in Strandbaden and painted a sunset, realizing that I wanted something more. Only a few years later, together with my wife, I built a house exactly where the first painting was created. Since then, art has become my life. Twenty-five years later, it remains just as vibrant. Today, my work is exhibited in both Sweden and internationally in cities such as New York, London, Montreal, Berlin, Amsterdam, Florence, and Oslo. I am represented in private collections throughout Europe and North America.

Locally, I have recently opened Galleri StudioMA in Nyhamnsläge, in the old post office, where I show my works and invite people to meet with the art. One of the rooms, the old bank vault, is particularly exciting. There, it feels like something new can take shape.

4. And how do I know when a work is finished?
That’s when I can sit in front of it for a long time – and a calm sets in.
