Dear friends, I have had the privilege throughout my life to be there where it happened, yes right then, regardless of whether I created it myself or not, whatever genre it was about. I have had the privilege been able to express myself both with words, images and emotions. This is something I now often think back to with great humility where I now sit at my studio and create my art.
All graphic sheets that appear on this website are printed by Sköndalskopia in Sköndal, Sweden.
I have lived a long life, and I note that when I passed 80, space has been created to work completely freely in my art, perhaps in some contexts in somewhat wild turns. I have made paintings all my life, and I must readily admit that some were not even intended for framing, and I am not talking only about picture-like phenomena.
My pictures have always had some kind of theme such as, "five shades of Garbo" or what I find out in real life. I work with photography, oil/acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. My great inspirations for my artistic work have always been Bengt Lindström, Andy Warhol, Claude Monet and more recently Banksy and especially Loretto.

Five Shades of Garbo, 2020/2025.
-Five Shades of Garbo- is available in both Acrylic and Oil on canvas, format 46 x 55cm, and also as graphic sheets A3 on 40 x 50 sheets and now also 50x70. In addition, I believe that Greta Garbo deserves a greater legacy, a great actris both in theater and above all in film. So does Andy Warhol, an artist who completely went his own way in his image creation. Five Shades of Garbo is thus a tribute to these two great artists, a series of five portraits of Greta Garbo, just as Andy Warhol once thought when he portrayed Marilyn Monroe, but of course in this case in my own, completely personal way.
Two of these pictures of mine are represented at the Garbo Museum in Högsby Sweden.

Art, graphic sheet 2025
Art, is a series of graphic sheets that have just started, my idea is to place known and unknown people or phenomena in this special Swedish sandbox. In this way, they should be shown that the activity they carry out is a form of art or an art form. In other words, I want to say that art is close and present wherever we are and whatever keeps us busy in life. Work is underway with requests and searching for images. The format will be A3 on a 40x50 sheet.

Swedish dance music, an art form? Of course!

During a stay in the city of Monteodorisio Italy in 2022, I discover a number of fantastic murals. Realized that this was street art at the absolute highest level, signed by Loretto, a street art artist from London.
Loretto was invited by the city council of Monteodorisio to decorate the streets of the city, 13 works of which I have found five that I documented with a Canon EOS 5D mark 2 camera, Lens EF 24-105mm 1:4.
Loretto is a prominent artist active primarily in South London, but also engaged in assignments in many places in Europe. After contact and conversations by phone it was decided that we should initiate some form of collaboration but so far this is in an early stage as more contacts are needed to formalize the collaboration.
The following five pics are a taste of Loretto's street art.
