Biography

I'm 24 years old and live in Sweden with my girlfriend and our dogs. I'm into alot of stuff but obviously art is one of my main interests. I've always been interested in and fascinated by visual and graphic communication and how we express and experience thoughts, feelings and messages through color, light and shape.





I'm a very creative person, luckily that's nothing unique in this world and definately not here at deviantART but it's still important as the creativity has always been present and shaped my life for as long as I can remember. I need to be creative at all times, I can't even imagine myself working with something without the need for creative problem solving or work flow in some way or another.





I currently study graphic communication and graphic production here in Sweden. In school and at occupational training I work mainly with four color offset printing which, at least here in Europe, is the most common way of producing full color products such as posters, packing, covers, magazines, labels and pretty much everything else you can get your hands and eyes on.





My art is often pretty dark and sinister, I don't know why I like to watch and create this kind of work but my guess (as a layman) is that I tend to look at my art as fictional work rather then a reflection of reality and since dark and sinister is probably the opposite of me as a person it becomes almost synonymous with fiction for me.
