The Englisman. Just one of those characters.

Collage; The Dollhouse

This collage project was one of the most fun and inspiring I have done. I started with exploring my mother´s dollhouse and all kinds of odd characters elbowed their way into this strange place...It eventually resulted in an exhibition at the Art-Mirall Gallery in Barcelona back in 2006.

Illustration; drawings for Swedish author Elisa Melin

Here is a little taste of my current project. At the moment I am preparing the illustrations for the Swedish author Elisa Melin´s upcoming collection of limericks she has written over the years. I think it will be a quite quirky little book.

Illustration; Exhibition "10 artists" at Untitled Gallery, Barcelona

In this work I played with the idea of masculine beauty that prevailed among the European noblemen during the 18th century. I wished to explore the harmony that can be found when intertwining the masculine with the feminine. 

The works were a part of the exhibition "10 artists" at the Untitled gallery in Barcelona in October 2010.
