As an artist i like to convey realism with a touch of surrealism and fantasy. Strong emotions and striking messages and a "being there" feeling.

I am 22 years old, I live outside Gothenburg in Sweden. Inspiration for my drawings: Clouds, artists, girlfriend, life. Tools and software I use: Wacom Intuos A4, Adobe Photoshop.

The past
I'm quite new in the art field, i have alway drawn illustrations and copies of the real world on paper using pen, rubber and paper. Then I discovered art on computers when I was like 12 years old, I started doing photomanipulations.

The years went and i begun to make more advanced wallpapers using my technique with manipulations. I bought a Wacom Intuos A4 drawing board, and airbrushed my manipulations.

Timeline
1981 - I was born 11 august.

1998 - I started a company called NALF, I was a consultant that fixed software-, hardware-, and computer problems. I designed web designs, coded intranets and databases. Everything was possible.

2000 - I came in touch with the scene by helping groups such as Crackers in Action, tKC (founder of Phrozen Crew), 9x and others by doing splashscreens and program designs. I was done with school and continued to work fulltime at my company NALF that i started when I was in school. Being busy with clients I got retired from the scene.

2001 - This year was a slow for me as an artist, although as a designer it was excellent. I did several web designs (programmed intranets and everything), logotypes, dtp designs and alot more.

2002 - I discovered airbrushing paintings and started to paint in ernest. My first drawings were "Skalle" and the greyscale portrait "Francesca". I joined an artgroup called Eqate and went back to the scene this time with a pack of experience.

2003 - I have tried to nail down my style. I try different techniques and themes. I discovered a landscape/seascape style of my own as i started painting without references.

Let's see what the future brings...
