The Gold of my County, 1 Painting

I am from the southernmost part of Sweden. Here at the south coast is where I grew up. Most of my ancestors were settled here and had to live by what earth and water could provide. My family history, the life that I live, the people I hold close, those places I have visited and settled in, landscape, sea and beaches is what inspires me. I am not a person defined by the severe exhaustion syndrome from which I suffered a few years ago. But the fact that I finally recovered has come to influence my art. In my paintings you find none of the pain and sadness I then experienced. There is only the joy and the sense of harmony I feel today. I paint whatever comes to my mind, and I use mixed media. I might use both acrylic, watercolour, ink and also different kinds of other media in the painting to create depth and structure.
