The Part I Carried, 2026
Blyerts
42 x 29,7 cm
The world only sees the strong version of us. The one that learned to survive, endure, and keep moving forward. However, theres another part of us the world rarely sees. The softer part that existed before we learned how to be strong.
Sometimes, becoming strong isnt about no longer needing protection. Its about becoming strong enough to finally give that protection to yourself.

Animals have always been a central part of my life and creative journey, shaping the way I see the world and inspiring my work. Through my art, I hope to remind people that there is something deeper in the way animals exist than we often understand, something we can still learn from, if we choose to stop and truly see it.
As a self-taught graphite artist based in Sweden, I create highly detailed animal drawings that blend realism with storytelling, atmosphere, and emotional depth.
Through graphite, I focus on capturing not only physical detail, but also presence and personality. Rather than portraying animals as simple subjects, I approach them as living beings with their own spirit and unspoken story. Many of my works reflect human experiences through the symbolism of animals, inviting viewers to slow down, reflect, and connect with something both wild and deeply familiar.
I welcome inquiries in both English and Swedish.
