My work centres around the female figure and the inner experiences we carry with us. I’m drawn to creating women who feel grounded and monumental, often surrounded by animals, nature and objects that seem to carry a significance of their own.

There is a sense of ritual in many of my paintings, although the story is never fully told. I’m interested in that space between inner strength and vulnerability, the familiar and the unknown. Rather than explaining what is happening, I want the paintings to leave something open, as if we have entered the scene somewhere in the middle of a story.

I work primarily with acrylic on canvas, predominantly on a large scale. Each painting begins with a heavily textured surface, built up in several layers before the figure or scene begins to take shape. The texture remains present throughout the finished work, giving the paintings a more tactile and organic quality.

My palette is mostly earthy and muted, occasionally interrupted by a brighter, unexpected colour.

I was born and raised in Sweden in 1987 and have lived between Sweden and Portugal since 2017. I am now permanently based in Sweden, where I work full-time as an artist from my home studio, which I share with my husband and fellow artist, Marco Nobre.
