Elin Erikson

Born and raised in Sweden, I started with oil painting back in 2008 in Madrid, Spain, in an artist studio belonging to Lourdes Presedo Suárez.

My paintings are characterized by layers of vivid colors and a fair amount of realism with a twist. I often integrate portraits of women with intrinsic patterns. Since the start, I also keep coming back to painting sleeping people. Maybe because that moment between being awake and falling asleep is where I get my best ideas. Or maybe because I admire the harmony I see in those who fall asleep easily, since I don't.
