I started painting in 2016, and I've been developing and refining my approach to realism ever since — capturing texture, light, and small details in a way that makes you look twice. Today, my original artworks have found homes across Europe, the US, and Australia.

I’m self-taught and work primarily in acrylic on canvas. My style leans toward hyperrealism with a pop art influence — I paint subjects that interest me, often drawing inspiration from familiar branding and nostalgic objects, bringing them to life at scale while capturing subtle reflections and obvious imperfections.

I'm based in Stockholm, Sweden, creating work that brings a fresh perspective to familiar subjects, often sparking curiosity, nostalgia, and conversation.
