Why artworks have names
If there is one thing I love to do, it is to give my artworks names. The name of an artwork is often just a few words, but actually, it is much more than that. It´s interesting that works of art like paintings, books, songs, plays all have their names. Just like...
We know each other
In this painting, a man is walking in the park, then comes to stand still for a moment under a deep emerald-green tree and then looks around. Suddenly, he is looking for someone. Time stands still for a moment. There´s quietness in the air, except the soft sound of...
Our trip to Sweden and Norway, summer 2024, part 2
After arriving back on land we shopped for groceries and started a long ride to Norway, to Sognefjellshytta. The road we took was first down to Jonkoping, then we went through Goteborg, then through Oslo and from there up to our location. Here are some pictures from...
We talk to the same stars
"We talk to the same stars" is a summer painting, inspired by a memory from our trip up north last year. Stars have a charm that people, artists and poets alike were always enamoured by. Stars shine in darkness, they shine in the night, when we let our thoughts wander...

May and June and the never ending quest of finishing a painting
Finishing a painting might seem like a simple think to do when one thinks about it. But when one tries to do it in reality, there are many, many turns that are often taken, which result in a seemingly never ending journey. As an artist, I know this all too well. There...
Night swimmers
My new painting is called "Night swimmers" and it is quite a large one too, measuring 100 x 130 centimetres. The inspiration for this painting came from a real life event last summer when I saw 4 young men having a bath in the middle of the night in a lake. I felt...
Improving my oil painting art materials
This blog will be probably more interesting for oil painting artists rather than for other readers because it will be a bit more technical. Nevertheless, if you are interesting in the workings of oil painting, keep reading. In March I have been reading on this topic...
Secret friend
I am here with a new artwork called "Secret friend". The name is quite a poetic one and I decided to title it like this because I felt like this place is so ordinary, but secret place. Perhaps no one really stops by it but someone knows about it. It is inspired by the...
