About
Twilight – where darkness and light meets – where music is born, poetry, colors and life itself. That’s the place where a painting comes alive and demands its own right. Where the artist is just an instrument, a transparent nothingness for colors, form and ideas to pass through. This is where my fascination for art lies. It’s a must and it never stops to poke for attention.
I work in oil on canvas. I have thirty years experience of working with painting and I have done lots of exhibitions. The year of 2011 I received a large scholarship from The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts.
In the years between 1970 and 1977 I worked as a professional musician, toured in different countries and recorded seven LP’s at EMI Sweden Corp. I was a member of the Swedish folk and rock group ”Landslaget”.
With a background as a musician I still carry on with the music. I compose and write lyrics, experimental music for the violin and as a singer/song writer with the guitar. If the Art hall is good for the purpose I combine the exhibition of my paintings with live music.
