A couple of years ago I did design and sew this winterdress in 3 parts, yesterday I did this clip – so happy to have it, because now it is the wether to use it!
To love a man – who is supposed to be the safe space – who is supposed to be the Devine Protector – but it turns out to be Him who is the danger & destroyer. I wonder what has happend to men that do war to females. Why? What kind of misdirected male energy is it? Howe come – I dont understand it!
I wanted sooo to sitt in that car – next to him – instead of his friend
You never know who or what you will meet in life – what journey you may have already made with someone even though it belongs to another five-fold bodily memory. I am shaken – I am deeply touched – I am aggressive – I am sad – I am excited – I am loving!
art performance – of the most super realism kind – almost medieval.
Beatrice – her grief!
film 59 sec
Beatrice went right through the screen, in to my studio. I was incredibly touched by her figure, her grief and her concentrated determination not to break down. To stand there and really just mourn her grandmother, while the church is filled with people mourning the passing of an era as.
Vulnerable and skinless – she held herself together, under an odd mourning garment. Maybe the garments served as protection – maybe most people didn’t see what I saw.
mixed technique of charcoal sketches that were later digitally assembled – it can become a work for print.
I did portray the death and the burial of Queen Elizabethan era
through Beatrice.
I kind of got “struck” by her – her grief went right through the window into my studio!
It touched me deeply that they were standing there for public viewing, with their claws – watched by prying eyes – but especially Beatrice. It was heartbreaking and in the same time pure and beautiful!
Named ZPIRIT – handmade – MATERIAL: fly net, gorilla glue, Papier-mรขchรฉ, transparent acrylic, hard pressed and processed in the final stage with hard pressure using metal – decorated with 24 carat gold leaf in a couple of layers.
These jewelry are made by my Spirit – there is no education behind it, no one has shown me anything – it’s created completely from imagination. So I guess you have to be a little careful – it is strong, but it is still not like metal or something. You can also use it rarely but keep it as a kind of artaffect in a glass cabinet – yes, there are many ways to use and keep.
Short story
The black cabinet – in my studio – that you see here, I inherited from my dad. The cabinet was designed by his aunt, which he inherited – so, for me, this cabinet has been the most amazing jewel in all our furniture where I grew up. The Zpirit jewelry collection has moved into here and it feels so right – a slightly grounded circle is closed.
They are like dust from a giant painting. that is part of the work: In The Glow Of The Dragon – so I guess this is kind of races of the dragon gold. size: 20×20 cm

he has spread both tolerance, humor and love around him – I have felt and seen that without having met him in person. What a great & gentle soul he was

Thinking of my father today, he is in heaven. Imagine being a father to 5 daughters – it can’t have been so easy ๐ตโ๐ซ to be a single man with 6 women. There aren’t many men you can giggle with, but with my dad you could… so much so that sometimes the tears flowed. – Big Love to my father โค๏ธ

Screenshot 8 November 2025
This Painting is created 2004
exhibit at Rรถda Sten, 2004 and at gallery Art Now, Gothenburg, Sweden in 2005.
Since then, for 21 years it has been lying dormant in my warehouse.
And now, in the coming weeks I will attach bit more, the art-work will be uppdated completed, and it will be shown here, so if you think it’s interesting, you are warmly welcome back then!
My Tribute to Ozzy
Ozzy Osbourne
The painting, this triptyk has been shown twice, once at Rรถda Sten, culture centrum in Gotenburg, Sweden in 2004 and also at gallery Art Now, Gotenburg, Sweden in 2005. Since then it has been lying dormant in my warehouse. Now it is starting to move, it wants to leave the warehouse!
titel of this painting is:
triptyk – montage – acrylic – oil – on canvas
size: 475 x 220 cm – 187″ x approx 87″
It’s so funny that I was so enchanted by the little dolls that portray these icons. I just had to incorporate them into the artworks.
NOTE
This Ozzy art-work will be completed now, after 21 years – and I hope that the painting will end up in a worthy place – let’s see how higher powers might help
I was so touched by the sweet, beautiful and sensitive personality that “lived” inside the rock monster – I simply had to paint!!
Ozzy embodies us all – the human being in life – the young – the boundless – the humorous – the seeing – the mature – the wise and the loving – the self-reflective.
I love Ozzy's self-distance and his totally liberated personality. Such a super nice person he is. โค๏ธ I'm not a hard rock listener - I listen to personalities!
photo above: from the opening in 2005 with my cousin Joakim, here 10 years old, who just loved Ozzy.
Ozzy is going to perform one last time – at Birningham Villa Park, 5 juli 2025
Lost Virgin: oil on canvas – approx: 150 x 100 cm 1979
Isn’t it the case that there is a lost innocence virgin in each of us – painful sadness – something significant given that was not recognized – everyone is right in their interpretation of Lost Virgin. Once I tried to buy back – Lost Virgin – but lo and behold it didn’t work! Unfortunately, there are many “lost Paintings” from this time zoon
DE TROLรSA/The Faithless
/ a series that was recently shown on Swedish TV, well acted love drama between three people
A little more inexperienced, and in reverse, we were Davina and Markusina. It was the man, George, who played Marianne. It was a deep and great drama 74.
George reading the paper, Darkusina smoking and Mavina was me.
George was totally magical. He had a very strong presence, he kind of took over the room. Blonde deep velvet brown eyes, , musician with a very nice sound on all levels, like super cool and gifted. I mean, all girls know that it’s hard to resist a man like that when he looks at you.
Drawing from 1972/73, George, and behind him, his friends
Met George at a party, cross street to Haga Nygatan, Gothenburg.
I hadn’t seen him in six months, madly in love, my first love, George, an Hungarian who fled his country at 15/teen. He stayed for a couple of years in Rome/Italy, worked there as an actor/extra before coming to Sweden. He played several instruments, mostly bass and guitar. He died a long time ago. You could say he was no mother-in-law’s dream even if he was very gifted and all the girls were charmed.
We are all on a journey in life – we are many. We are used to moving among the masses – faces that only touch us – like winds that stir only a little in the clothes.
Sometimes, in the middle of the masses, a room opens – you end up in a zoon where it is completely still – no winds – because it is somehow not earthly – it is beyond the masses. The meetings you have in those zones reach the heart. The people who enter the zone – well, they are simply people you don’t want to miss – they are people you mourn deeply when they disappear.
And they will disappear – people – because that’s what we all do – we disappear.
Tomorrow I’m going out and to se if I can find pre-stretched canvases – I always stretch them myself. 176X140cm – five of them – I think – we’ll see, it could go either way, it feels inspiring anyway!
I PORTRAY the incredible, completely unique and for everyone else almost impossible power of love that a mother possesses, I portray it by the mother having a tiger cub on her left side, while she has a lamb by her right arm.
SHE loves both equally, even though one eats the other. For the rest of us the equation doesn’t add up, but for the mother it is obvious.
The face in the work is cast directly on the face of Bond Woman Maud Adams. Maud herself saw no point in her taking up space like this in my work of art. But she still showed respect to the artist, that is, me! I have chosen Maud’s face to crown motherhood. Now it is the case that Maud is childless like me, and I don’t know if it is like mine, self-chosen. I have chosen Maud because of her beauty, which is as strong on the inside as on the outside, she is both humble and very strong – she would be a super mother, she is a very good role model.
Regarding children – children are the most wonderful thing there is – why I chose not to! 1: I have been 100 percent absorbed in the artistic process. 2: If I had met a man who was worthy of my trust, I definitely think I would have helped create a child.
There are still so many of us. I am so very happy that there are friends who have had children. I believe that we all have something to give, that we are needed, in all ways and forms.
FILM 32 sec
I believe that maternal love is almost the highest form of love, both in the animal kingdom and among humans.
I miss my mom so much. She was an amazing mother! Sometimes, when jsg doubted myself, she said: dear, you have your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground, you always land right! How beautiful isn’t that?!
Some people find these images grotesque – but I am only trying to describe the terrible sadness that feels like death – the fear that can sometimes completely shockingly take over both brain and heart. When you pray for life in a deep, true and real way.
There are different kinds of intensions between us humans – I portray this in a cherub, an angel of love who has become an angel of death – truly something to pray for as protection.
Important simple questions to ask when you want to analyze your current existence.
How did it happen – Why did I end up where I am right now?
Where am I right now?
short description in Swedish. (35 sec)
2002
Artistically & Poetically Expressed
IT IS difficult to find the beginning of the very movement that the present is based on. I closed my windows to the outside – and gradually forgot that I belonged to the outside world, without realizing my distancing. During these years I did some collaborations with dancer Carmen Olsson, large works, at her initiative. In my own work I expressed my personal existential thoughts and events, absorbed by the creative movement inside my room. Yet I was very touched by external events, it’s just that I did not see myself as participating, but only observing.I did reflect, I painted, sculpted, sketched and sewed, all to find the form that I would fill, as well as building my “craft” to be able to returnto Earth.
2020
My thin shell was clear, I was ready – I had the shape – I returned – so happy and curious, so naively expectant! Created a profile on Instagram, and different kinds of birds started to appear that got my full attention. I simply didn’t understand other people’s intentions because I didn’t have any myself – I was incredibly newborn – didn’t even know there were dangers! How the hell it all works, how you can be an adult and not understand it, I have no answer! I guess that’s the thing that we haven’t yet solved the riddle of when it comes to the psyche – “the complex human being” – with all the strange layers of consciousness.
.
Yes, when genius speculates, there is no ceiling! Good God, so one sunny day when the birds were chirping, and the window was open, it slammed shut and a dark figure crawled on the windowpane.
And from that moment on, the light was blocked in various forms – a story for another time.
2025
Where am I right now
Many works are to be completed, including a large work: PARADISE – in parallel with those that will be included in The Dragon project.
Sad that I unfortunately destroy, demolish some works on the way, including this picture above, among several others. Gonna sharpen upโฆ
I got, through events, an idea, a plan, which became an invitation to some. The invite didn’t get a response – maybe it was naive of me to believe so strongly in my idea (which I actually still think would have been a success) In retrospect, I see the meaning of the development. I took a break, like 10 months from that work to create zpirit – a jewelry collection – and now I’m back in the project: In The Gow Of The Dragon. Reborn and curious, I’m back on track, it feels exciting and a little unclear right now how the overall expression will take shape – perfect conditions for creative development!
One year after the 2nd World War Grandfather Kalle draws my grandmother Astrid and I have pasted this original drawing of grandfather into my work: “And the Angels Weep”
There she is – sitting at the food court in, lays solitaire.
Maybe the dramas was already there in grandma’s solitaire – I pasted the ID bracelet from trauma unit over the drawing. Imagine if it is so, that everything is already predicted!! It’s scary anywayโฆ why are you here? What is the purpose? Is it that one should get those experiences imprinted as traces in one’s soul? I would rather choose to be free, instead of living on a planet, I want to fly around, between many planets!โฆ At least I think so!
What does her card really show, does she see the future – does she see the time that is now disappearing into a completely different future?
This drawing becomes so valuable on both a personal and general humanistic level in my painting, where I portray both a time that shines – crazy and wild – a time that disappears and a pesronic death – an ongoing transformation that we all ride! We have not developed our inner being to the technological level we are at.
It’s absolutely crazy – we turned the cherub into an angel of death.
Utby -The house at รsterlyckan that my grandfather built himself
The house is still there, downloaded image from Google maps
This painting is mega difficult to do because I’m affected, it describes a concussion – it describes a murder – it describes a completely terrible grief, I’m much better, but not fully recovered yet.
About my working focus
Do not kill the image – keep the space – love the surface in between! Dance with hand and brush – touch just a little – and at the same time stir like a tank!
This film is from about November 2024
A new day tomorrow, hope it will be good, that me and the picture meet in an exciting movement – something you can never take for granted!
When I was born, my wonderful aunt – Ruth Kajsa – drew this picture, of a little toadstool girl, as a christening present. How could she know who I was, who I would become!?
I have a living child inside – unfortunately people misjudge my character because of that. If you bite me, if you try to control me, dominate me or consume me – well, quite simply, then you become poisoned.
What fascinates meโฆ how could my aunt know? How could she create this true image before I even took form?
My Origin – it is Not Earthly!
cut from film 2021 – still as relevant.
Origin – unknown
Exclusion, just becauseโฆ you might wonder! Why are people stingy in their heart, I can’t stop wonderingโฆ it’s like denying life itself, its movement and floweringโฆ it’s so sad. How can you wish that war doesn’t exist, if your heart is closedโฆ it doesn’t work!
It was a gigantic Locomotive filled with sadness thundering into my studioโฆ I’ve never dealt with anything like it.
I was a snap from death just some days before this photo… now it looks like I’m back on the long journey. It was a strange completely overwhelming feeling Now it is a new chapter for the rest of the time that exists.
It was 2022 – dancer Carmen Olsson and I got a residency for 14 days at Kungsbacka theatre. We collaborated around Carmen’s tree theme – title: Nature Remains.
One of the days, we happened to be outside of our designated project, magic happened, time stood still – we connected without a script, without a planโฆ this is a small clip cut from the footage from that moment.
I believe that the very essence of being is the will.
SO dark, deep, so strange – and what followed in its wake, it was even worse, actually completely unrelated and yet connected to my work, it was terribly sad!

ZPIRIT
2023-24 – I took a break from painting – I made a small jewelry collection – Zpirit.
Mixed media of fly netting, gorilla glue and, papier-mรขchรฉ acrylic paint and more gorilla glue, a mix of layers. The final layer consists of several layers of 24 carat white gold.
THE BRACELET, the affirmation, reflects the conditions that apply to most of us.
The bracelet is loaded with instinct – it’s meant to strengthen the warrior in the wearer – to strengthen the dandelion’s power.
The bracelet Conan Barbarus weighs 66.9 grams
the measurement/circumference on the inside is 21 cm
SEK 17,000
NOTE:
The bracelets are both strong and light. Since the bracelets are not by metal – they should be handled with some care, as useful art.
The opening of shoppify will be a little delayed – I will open on July 18
The Bracelets are Worked as Sculptures
Many hours – many layers – tightly packed to give the expression that the bracelets have. They are treasure finds from an inner treasury.
Material:
A mix of fly netting, gorilla glue and, papier-mรขchรฉ, acrylic paint and more gorilla glue, as I said, a mix of layers. The final layer consists of several layers of 24 carat white gold.

English description of the art event Welcome to an art exhibition in conjunction with the event ‘Culture in Tiomilaskogen.’ Over three days, an abandoned house will be transformed into a place to remember an alternative world. In the dilapidated house on the outskirts of the small village, you are invited to a lost time. What awaits you, however, are traces of a story that was never completed. The artwork consistently uses artificial intelligence (AI) to explore our relationship with the supernatural and the unknown. Through a collection of photographs and images, the collective memory imprinted in today’s computer technology is examined. The main theme addresses the interplay between technology and a mystical reality. By creating an entryway into this magical world, we have a chance to rediscover elements that may have disappeared from our lives. As a portal to the future, it gives us a glimpse of what may come. Advances in artificial intelligence pave the way for an existence where we interact with new beings, and where our lives are reunited with the unexplained โ a rebirth of magic
Fรถr 30 รฅr sen bรถrjade jag
– anvรคnda Photoshop (v2.5) och har sedan dess fascinerats av digitalt bildskapande. Ibland har jag anvรคnt dessa bilder som skisser till mรฅlningar bland har de bara fรฅtt leva i den digitala sfรคren. Nรคr jag fรถr nรฅgra รฅr sen bรถrjade studera AI pรฅ allvar sรฅ var mรถjligheterna till digital bildmanipulation en av de sakerna som tidigt fรฅngade mitt intresse. Genom att fรถlja utvecklingen sรฅ har jag kunnat se hur ai-modellerna pรฅ ett sรคtt blir bรคttre samtidigt som de ocksรฅ lรคtt leder till mindre intressanta bilder.
Under ett par รฅrs tid har jag skapat en serie bilder som nu kommer att bli en utstรคllning. I sommar kommer jag att fรถrvandla ett รถdehus till en plats fรถr att minnas en tid som aldrig intrรคffade. Bildserien som visas dรคr undersรถker vรฅrt kollektiva minne som inprรคntats i ai-modellerna och fรถrsรถker att frammana en kรคnsla av det รถvernaturliga som en del av det vardagliga.
Detta sker i sommar under โKultur i Tiomilaskogenโ (25-27 juli) i min mammas hemby Avradsberg i Malungs Finnmark, en plats jag ofta besรถkte under min uppvรคxt. Denna avkrok i utkanten av vรคrlden รคr den perfekta platsen att sluta cirkeln mellan det fรถrgรฅngna och framtiden – med AI kommer vi att fรฅ uppleva framvรคxten av nya vรคsen och kanske kommer tillvaron att bli magisk igen.
They are fantastic together – Lena, Mikael and Thomas – apart from great drama, you are filled with presence, friendship and love. It shines in a special way when they are together!
I was warmed to the heart – art in all its glory, its direct path to depth and insight – when you feel deep friendship – love – it surpasses everything else!
… and Mikael… in addition to his presence on stage, his humor reaches everyone, resonates, goes right in.
It was inspiring, I got a couple of inner images, which I will bring to my empty canvas that is waiting for me.
Life is such a breathtaking and strange journey. I wish I was invited on a space trip, picked up in a spaceship. I’d like to surf between planets, land on a beach at night… in moonlight and lapping waves…
As a person and as a woman, she was my opposite – she was totally grounded – didn’t see what she didn’t want to see and saw what she wanted to seeโฆ maybe I was lucky
๐
Once/many times I said to her in despair:
– mother, I can’t handle this, it’s too much, I can’t be, to do what I have to doโฆ I’m too weak, my strength is not enough. Sometimes the situation of my life looked very difficult – you could say, it didn’t look like a mother wishes for a daughter..
My mother always answered me, very calm (don’t know if she was a very good actor)
– Do not worry…you have your head in the sky but you also have one foot on the groundโฆ you always land right
I feel so blessed for her words, for being my mother

Letter from Diana – has stayed in my studio since 1997, during these years until today, it has only been shown for 3 weeks at the Mรถlndals Museum, about 9 years ago, the same time as the book fair in Gothenburg. Somehow the painting got talked about and the Fantomen club (which was at the book fair) contacted the museum and would like to meet the artist. So, of course I had to stand up – was very shy – had to declare my love for a paper man, a cartoon character to a group of menโฆ I had their undivided attention, strange and funny somehow!
โฆ where did the painting go? But it’s just paused! I needed to rearrange my thoughts! This series of jewelry became such a very inspiring bridge – a bridge between hopes and reality. I am on a constant inner journey – my craft knows its wayโฆ and I just follow along. How could I find a treasure chest, just like that!?
Life is strange and creativity is simply divine, elevated above self!
I am in a process – I am playing – I have found inner chambers, treasure chambers, with jewels. Three different faces in the work “PARADISE” are a kind of doorkeepers to these chambers.

I’m back at work after summer and other things. Linking back to the project “In the Glow of the Dragon”, which has been renamed TRUST – in which this painting that I describe in the clip – TRUST – is included.
I was by post getting cut pieces off my paintings. It was extra heavy the day a package fell in containing a doll with dried out eyes, severed hands – what do you do with such things – ย I went to a priest, and asked if he could take care of it, just in case that something happened. It took 4 years to restore life, desire and happiness.
I became a kind of warrior – digital work mixed with sculpture
the impact it all had on my work
MY art – my visual world completelyย disappeared – somehow I eventually got everything out of the apartment I lived in – all the black, all the whips, skeletons, barbed wire and other things – I don’t remember how , but somehow it happened.
Thanks to my father, I had this apartment to both live and work in – as everything was gone, both work and clothes, I would find a new form to exist. I found a pair of military pants and a black leather jacket in a basement (can’t remember which one) – bought a pair of rough hiking shoes – and that became my outfit for 3 years – summer, autumn, winter and spring. It was tough – I love clothes, playing with the outside, make-up, poofing and puffing – but I put all that on the shelf – I became a kind of warrior. I got help in getting a little friend – a Yorkshire terrier – named Ida – She was probably sent from heaven, I actually think so… she opened the window to life & play again
In order to survive, I started teaching – art – at the community school.
self portrait : ย mixed media – a window right into my being for the moment –ย Cardboard glued to wood – chalk, charcoal, collage – 100 x 130 cm
For a couple of years it was just lines all over the walls, lines and more linesโฆ I realized I was trying to understand the air around me – very primitive – very intuitive – extremely serious – I was struggling to regain my understanding of my existence.
AND SO IT HAPPENED!
A completely magical vibrating night, I gave birth to a visual language – I call this my image-letters!
These images are like molecules in my paintings โฆ my paintings are based in structure on various combinations of these – it is a kind of DNA code that has become visible.
1991
I was asked to make an interior design and one of the picture-letters developed and became the center of the entire interior design work – it’s a bit fun to show it here in this context
The Core
This became the core of my work – art and interior design at Evas Paley – 1991 – avenue/Gothenburg of my workย
1994
And the picture-letter continued – it became a collection that I call the Linnรฉ group – all with, just for this picture designed frame gold leaf – with logo.
So, what a fantastic day we had – the last wonderful summer days – and then this fantastic Millesgรฅrden. How could I never have been there?? It was my first time and I was amazed at all the beauty, care and work that went into the farm to preserve it for everyone. They also have a great lunch restaurant, lovely view where we took a breakโฆ yummy, what a day! The art gallery was very nice, where the exhibition +++ ย was taking place. In the film clip below, you can glimpse some of the impressions.
Why do we have such a hard time accepting differences – I wonder – do we want everyone to be the same shape? How do we get our brains to choose wonder instead of judgement?
So longing – today for my painting “Lolita Express”!
Maybe – when I finish ongoing projects – that I go and recreate Lolita – in all the forms she became on one and the same canvas… but many canvases as figures.

Isn’t it the case that there is a lost innocence/virgin in each of us – painful sadness – something significant given that was not recognized – everyone is right in their interpretation of Lost Virgin.
Once I tried to buy back – Lost Virgin – but lo and behold it didn’t work!
Unfortunately, there are many “lost Paintings” from this time zoon – but here are some who made it, a selection!
self learning – how to and how to noT!
I chose in this school of my own to still depict events, feelings and thoughts – it became a type of surrealism – as I see it this way in retrospect.
talking: oil on canvas approx:135×100 cm 1980
George, Soile and me -73
Two friends who were very important to me, growing up – Soile-best friend/for a while – George, reading the paper, my first great love!
George, and behind him, one of his friends
1979
I was very focused on what the truth really is about reality alert to leakage – perceived some kind of spiritual help – to see – while not really knowing a bit about the origin of that help.
I moved away from home shortly after I turned 17 – not because I was ready for it, but because I couldn’t stand the facade of a family that no longer existed.
The world, us – social structures, people, nature – earthly existence scared me so extremely – and actually still does!
The unique fame that Leonardo enjoyed in his lifetime and that, filtered by historical criticism, has remained undimmed to the present day rests largely on his unlimited desire for knowledge, which guided all his thinking and behaviour. An artist by disposition and endowment, he considered his eyes to be his main avenue to knowledge; to Leonardo, sight was manโs highest sense because it alone conveyed the facts of experience immediately, correctly, and with certainty. Hence, every phenomenon perceived became an object of knowledge, and saper vedere (โknowing how to seeโ) became the great theme of his studies. He applied his creativity to every realm in which graphic representation is used: he was a painter, sculptor, architect, and engineer. But he went even beyond that. He used his superb intellect, unusual powers of observation, and mastery of the art of drawing to study nature itself, a line of inquiry that allowed his dual pursuits of art and science to flouris
When the plague ravaged Europe, when the witch hysteria was boiling in Europe, then Leonardo da Vinci went out and reflected, interpreted and sketched. That’s what I do, but in an updated way. My youtube posts are exactly the same as his sketching. It’s an artistic process – after a while, something – I don’t know what – will come out of it!
I reflect on my surroundings – I just have to!
I don’t think the presentation we generally get of reality matches what reality is!
And I think the word conspiracy theories is used way too much, it gets thrown out as soon as something describes something that the mainstream hasn’t embraced – is the mainstream god?
We must question, we must wonderโฆ otherwise we are a bunch of sheep’s skulls!
About – Maui – and other things
More and more people believe that the fire was started – with some advanced “tool” – it doesn’t match with an ordinary fire – trees remains in the middle of houses that are completely charred.
about the fire – a biologist explains – fire typ microwave
very interesting!
Here a resident man who goes around and registers the land, the houses after the fire.
Rรถrvik/Nรคset – in a turquoise self-made dress – my school exam before graduation – I wanted to be a designer. So ambitious. It was an intensive year of home sewing – advanced long coat – suit overall and a lot of other things. It was like that for a while, a year, but at 15 everything collapsed.
I went in to eliminate my wardrobe – it was a big act – of an unconscious kind, it was on pure primal force, intuition and without me realizing at the time – the beginning of my artistry.
Early drawing. In some way, in retrospect, it seems to be a bit about rebelling, dressing up and playing roles…speaking of the difficulty I went through with my wardrobe!
And when I now look a little closer – heaven – it looks like the front figure, the girl in the hat, in triumph puts her foot on a knocked out individual – has she killed? I actually don’t remember. The picture at first looks like child’s play, but on a closer look there is a terrible drama in the picture.
Difficult time - 6 years of much thinking, much wondering - besides existential musings, I know that even dark, haunted things for me, things I’ve seen, experienced that didn’t belong in “furnished rooms”. Deep revolt against family traditions - things that were boring, without true presence, things that just repeated themselves as an eternal pattern. The parents' marriage began, behind the scenes, to fall apart, and it colored us all.
I had many thoughts about how to be, how to want to beโฆ created ideals!
โฆ many thoughts about human qualities – I was very attentive to how people acted, interactedโฆ I learned a great deal by watching. I spoke very little – some almost never heard my voice, during these years, except absolutely the closest friends.
After these years in a vacuum, I went home to my mother in the countryside – Mรฅnstad – where I arranged for my first studio in the basement – I was 21.
I really had a lot to catch up on, in terms of discipline & diet. Forest and magic were outside the house – it provided the nourishment needed to manifest the will.
Jonas has served at the board of the University of Gothenburg and as a member of the universityโs coordination group for digitalisation and artificial intelligence.
WE have just initiated a joint work, a project – In The Glow Of A Dragon – is going to be so exciting!
.. it’s going to be so exciting to see how it develops!
I wish I could film more – funnier – deeper – but I put a brake on myself out of respect for the other guestsโฆ so therefore it’s a bit tight description of Martinยดs beautiful paintings.
But it’s still something
I interpret Marin’s paintings as an expression of memories – safe memories – which perhaps also hide a few things – facades – Probably it is up to the viewer – to remember. I haven’t spoken to Martin about my reflections โฆ so I don’t know if it matches his intentions.
We were there today – I felt how his brain was moving – how funny – how excited he was/is when the ideas are bubbling – you kind of start playing in his room!
On the 23rd I’m going to Stockholm – staying there for a few days – going to see Martin Wickstrรถm’s fantastic work of art! It will be so interesting and exciting – you can’t compare a photo of art to seeing it in real life. I am looking forward to the stay in beautiful Stockholm!
We participate in Biennale ‘Begegnung Mit Pirosmani” – together in 2012 – also with swedish artist Meta Isaeusberlin – at National Museum of Tbilisi, in Georgia.
I found this interesting presentation, 4 years old, but it’s like yesterday.
I will see Martin’s art in the company of a family member – Oliver Cederquist – https://www.instagram.com/oviler.oviler/– who is a fantastic cartoonist and also a sighted person – who deeply appreciates looking at other people’s work – it will be great fun!
I was married – for three months – to a, in Europe – blacklisted “warrior” (there is another name for such). It was bad years both before and after that short marriage.
I have lived with a man who checked for bombs every time he moved – anywhere – under the car – in the home – on the street.
In short – I had to flee to survive – my whole family had to go to a hiding place – security at the highest level was engaged – to avoid unwanted algorithms – There is much to tell, but this is enough – just to grasp the artistic expression during these years. As this man destroys, shreds much of my work there is not much to see of it.
Regarding my work – My colors disappeared
I usually repress this chapter in my life – regarding my work – that period is actually an important part, it has influenced my movement strongly and deeply, it has left a mark on my artistic expression.
Lolita Express – 2018 – 2.40 x 1.40 – oil on canvas (since painted over) I realized a couple of days after this post, the track from the time – 1982 – to kind of present 2018.
Around this life situation – my colors disappeared – I could only paint in black – I went to old barns in the country, where I found very old leather objects – such as saddles, whips, military jackets – animal skeletons, many skeletons – yes everything possible – My wardrobe was empty of clothes but full of thorn, old military whips and skeletons – I collected!
I worked with the collected material – on boards – using nails and glow.
Between the time I was 26-29 years old.
Trapped Warrior – material: paper mache. hemp cord – horse hair – paper glued to masonite – nail – acrylic
Trapped Warrior
How it came about
Trapped Warrior is one of those that has disappeared This object has a very special creation history – magical genesis – I was enchanted!
The Gothenburg Museum’s ethnographic collections and the Gothenburg Ethnographic Museum were in Ostindiska huset until 1993. Now the ethnographic collections are located inย Vรคrldskulturmuseets at ย Korsvรคgen, since December 2004.
Gothenburg – 1981/82 -such an ordinary day, gray clouds and rain. I was determined to get myself a study of “that shrunken head” which I knew was in the Ethnographic Museum. It turned out that Museum was closed – so disappointed – knocked on impulse, and was both happy and surprised when the big gate opened – there was a man who told me: The museum is closed for renovation. I expressed my disappointment, said that I wanted so badly to see that shrunken head that I knew they had… whereupon he introduced himself as the head of the museum – (I understand in retrospect that it must have been Kjell Zetterstrรถm) he pondered a bitโฆ and then he said: all the halls are empty, but it just so happens that that particular head is the only one that is left, come in and I will show you. I felt blessed!
Zetterstrรถm led the way up to the 2nd floor, opened a tall double door. The room – long high ceiling, completely covered in sand colored protective paper – with an object placed in the middle – a pedestal with a glass dome –ย and there was the head on a “stick”. It was a spectacular sight. While circling the pedestal with super intense gaze – imprinted the dark figure in the dome (didn’t have a camera). Zetterstrรถm began to tell in detail about the two warriors who fought each other in the jungle, how the head-skin of the defeated man was prepared with hot stones. The lips were sewn together so that the killed man would not be able to come back to take revenge.
I went straight home – got out papier-mรขchรฉ – clamped some steel wire and started to create – it was magical – there in my hands the head grew – the warrior appeared at my house exactly as he looked in the museum – I was completely enchanted. It felt like I redeemed him by seeing him – he became free, while I shared his dark destiny.
The quality of the photo is poor, but I am grateful that it exists. This work has been stolen it may be in France. I wish the object came back to me, so I could choose a place for it myself.
Death Rood
Death Road – Materials: leather military jackets – rabbit skull – riding whips – hemp cord. nail – horseshoe filling
I drew the image of myself – while I was sitting in a cafe with a croissant.
If I could get a moment to myself – I wrote letters that I secretly sent home, all texts somehow coded, so that it was up to the recipient to interpret.

1979 – Jag รฅkte till Paris med endast en 100-lapp i fickan! Jag hade hittat/skapat en mecenat – trodde jag!
Genom min resa till Paris, kan man sรคga att jag hittade min vilja – eller kanske det var min vilja som hittade hittade mig! Min vilja visade sig fรถr mig och jag blev medveten om en fantastisk kraft inombords. Sen รคr det ju sรฅ att viljan tog mig inte dit jag ville… den tog mig pรฅ en helt annan vรคg. Fรถrmodligen sรฅ speglade min vilja en verklighet som jag mรฅste se, fรถr att ta mig vidare.
Viljan รคr klok, den visar jaget vรคgen… och vรคgen รคr allt annat รคn rak!
1979 – I went to Paris with only a 100 note in my pocket! I had found/created a patron – I thought!
Through my trip to Paris – 79 – you could say I found my will – or maybe it was my will that found found me! My will appeared to me and I became aware of an amazing power within. THEN it’s the case that the will didn’t take me where I wanted… it took me on a completely different path. Probably my will reflected a reality that I have to face, to move on.
The will is wise, it shows the self the way… and the way is anything but straight!
Jag hade inga finskor sรฅ jag fick – av den kvinnan som hade hand om alla “missarna” – dessa skor att bรคra till balen. Skorna bars av dem nรคr de visade upp sig i baddrรคkten.
I didn’t have nice shoes, so I was given – by the woman who took care of all the “misses” – these shoes to wear to the ball. The shoes were worn by them when they showed up in the bathing suit.
This event, this trip symbolizes – for me – the freedom to move independently – to have no mental barriers, to possess a strong will – to move without fear in this world – even though it looks absolutely impossible!
.To be in one’s core – to live the core – to do the core!
Swedish
Denna hรคndelse, denna resa symboliserar- fรถr mig – friheten att rรถra sig sjรคlvstรคndigt – att inte ha nรฅgra mentala hinder, att ha en stark vilja – att rรถra sig utan rรคdsla i denna vรคrld – trots att det ser helt omรถjligt ut!
Att vara i sin kรคrna – att leva sin kรคrna – att gรถra sin kรคrna!
This is a work that was created after my return – a kind of reflection – on the adventures, the meetings, the energies. I had encountered the will to succeed in myself, but also the reluctance to compromise my values.
It has acquired a deeper, wider and right into the bone marrow meaning!

This is Hello, Computer, a series of interviews carried out in 2023 at a time when artificial intelligence appears to be going everywhere, all at once.
Jonas Ivarsson is a professor of informatics. He started in cognitive science and communication studies before moving to education. In 2013 he became a professor of education, where his research focused on the role of various technologies in developing knowledge and competence. In 2019 he moved to Informatics at the Department of Applied Information Technology at the University of Gothenburg. There, his role is to take the lead on the emerging research on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligenceโa specific approach to the interplay between humans and machines in the context of artificial intelligence. Central to this approach are questions relating to how to design AI systems to operate in the context of human users and how to design learning trajectories of humans so that they can intelligently interact with increasingly complex semi-autonomous systems. His strategic leadership background includes serving as deputy head of department as well as research dean at the faculty of education. He has served at the board of the University of Gothenburg and as a member of the universityโs coordination group for digitalisation and artificial intelligence. The government has appointed Ivarsson to serve on the advisory Ethics Council of the Swedish Migration Agency. Ivarsson is an experienced project leader and currently operates as principal investigator of the research project โProfessional Trust and Autonomous Systemsโ funded by Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation
I really don’t understand time – it’s a mystery – what is it, how is it – does it pass, or does it just keep going, coming back and disappearing!?
I understand it biologically and metrically (barely) but I don’t understand it emotionally… Iit feels like everything exists at the same time! That simultaneity does not agree with how we are brought up about time.
Anyway… now it’s summer and wonderful… right now… just be present and enjoy!
I did portray the death and the burial of Queen Elizabethan era
through Beatrice.
I kind of got “struck” by her – her grief went right through the window into my studio!
It touched me deeply that they were standing there for public viewing, with their claws – watched by prying eyes – but especially Beatrice. It was heartbreaking and in the same time pure and beautiful!
film 2. 27 min
mixed technique of charcoal sketches that were later digitally assembled – it can become a work for print.
Where ever you are – I love you – and I am so gratefull – You never ever doubted me, no matter what it looked like. And it’s strong, because sometimes it looked really bad!
There is no love greater than a mother’s love… so here, among us humans… that’s what I believe!
I continue to work in my thoughts and in the project. Different images spin, which ones to choose to make it the best. Some new ideas have popped up today… feels exciting!
So explosive, playful and filled with humor! And towards the end it doesn’t bode well – unfortunately – but you leave with a really lovely song that goes deep into the heart!
So amazed by the power, the presence by thees people! What a super boost for life itself!
THE SHOPPING
jewellery and other things!
! I just love patterns, specially when different patterns meet, crossing and overlay each other… it is like getting close to a multidimensional reality… in other words, getting close to the truth! ๐
BEACH HANG
There are no words for the feeling, the pleasure of being close to the see, the senses of the beach and the water… listening to the waves… love it! I think it is the best of relaxing moments for the soul.
The most wonderful days!
DREAMING AND AWAKE
Seriously… so much to say, to think and to share!
Saving the holiday to remember in dark wintertimes, preparing for the hard working life, feeling grateful, humble and happy!
Always in my heart… love you guys… hope for another trip soon!
Thanks… is not enough! Lennart, you have had the most importance – incomparably – meaning for my work. You are a true art lover, people lover and a true friend!
film 1.50 min – describing a bit of Lennart’s – HUSVรRDEN AB – now working vision!
Mรถlndal/Krokslรคtts Fabriker – Quality Hotel The Weaver
I went through memories from last year – and this very day was a special day, a road Trip.
the location is: Bรฅstanรคs in Tรถckfors
– the place is filled of silent stories. time was short, there was so much more to film.
It was poignant – jag blev sรฅ berรถrd – to walk there among all the cars, the deeper into the forest, the older and rustier it became. I actually saw wrecks that looked like they were from before WWII.
Six months ago I was on a Sunday at Rรถda Sten, and that was inspiring. Feeling and seeing other people’s work, when that work is genuine&true… I just love it!
film 1 min
I am inspired by this picture even though it is my own… I love what I have managed to portray here. Think, some things can only be “read” in pictures… pictures are such an amazing language!
Norรฉn – theater – “that’s how simple love is”… well, it’s not simple! … that’s for sure!
I had an experience… that didn’t exist in my reality… it happened to me anyway! It’s becoming art!
I went to Stockholm, went to the theatre Maxim… actually mainly to understand reality, which I had begun to doubt… would have filmed a lot more, but lost the desire due to internal circumstances. Anyway, it was a valuable experience, to be able to be part of the last performance – in reality… happy that I have seen the much loved theater Maxim, before it was shut down.
Loaded with new insights I went home… it was/is surreal. I’ve fallen out, beyond earth’s gravity!
OBS
If anyone wants to add this little film clip to their memories – the end of Maxim – it is now available for download!
unknown artist – no singnatur – I would love give the artist credit for this very genius painting… if any one knows please give me note!

THIS HEIR, behind me… this baby -25 years old – how is that possible
… wonder if he’ll pop out when he’s done? My hands, or my will is teaching me things my head doesn’t know
… sooo, wondering what will come of this..
film 2.31 min
Art work in the in the final process
THE LEGACY – THE HERITAGE
I want to highlight our inherited fear. As soon as we leave the safe womb, we are so incredibly vulnerable.
In this work – which has been ongoing, from and to, since 1997 – 2022 – I have portrayed my fear of existing in my earthly body, my earthly destiny. And as I see it, everyone else’s fate as well – because I am not alone in being born into a system where violence and power are one of the most controlling forces. After all, there is a counterforce of light and love, but not everyone is blessed to be in that frequency. Despite the fact that “THE LEGACY” has deep roots in a dark part of me, my personality, the work is portrayed with humor. Because humor is a great tool to deal with difficulties. So this little baby, sitting on one side in a crack of the work – is even before leaving the womb – armed! This little heir seems to embrace his destiny even as he thinks: shit! On the other side of the work, his father – the comic book hero The Phantom rides his horse, gun at the ready… my childhood comic book hero, whom I chose to portray as the patriarchal role model.
one way – my way – of guaranteeing original quality is THROUGH a:
ย WHY IS IT IMPORTANT that the person who sings off the board is the same person who painted the painting?ย
Except
– that you do not want to be cheated!
… and in addition to paying for a lot more underlying work than just the fact that one purchase! All crafts are impregnate by variably unseen forces! According to me – it is extremely important what you bring home – for you who do not know, to you’r awareness, an object is just a capsule, a shell filled with just the exact energy that it was made by!
The great thing about buying a work of art is, in my opinion, that you besides the image, do take part of the artist’s invisible presence – you simply purchase an animated object – it cannot get more exclusive than that! That is what you are buying when buying a work of art.
” Zeppa-Zertified ” is:
= an hair collection in a safe deposit boxes from a selected individual who is no longer alive!
… to avoid any “accidents”
๐
– from this hair collection you use a piece of hair each time you sign you’r artwork – hair must always be in a certain measure, such as 2 cm, unless it does not apply even if it is the right DNA, it is to eliminate cheating alternatives to open the capsule and cut a piece of the hair, to use for other work.
Mount the hair shaft in papie mache (above) and rap the it in some plastic or evan better tin foil paper, and then put the package in a ”capsule” , and mount it on the artwork. The ”capsule” can for example be made in paipรฉ mache, wood or plaster.
You mount the ”capsule” with suitable glue!
The ”capsule” is encapsulated in a mounted area of the object… and if you ever want to check the authenticity of a painting of me – or perhaps another artist who chooses this method –
you should be able to submit the painting to get an DNA-analysis. With professional help, lift the seal with a scalpel and do DNA analysis of the hair shaft and comparing it with an analysis… and then, with a witness – of course, restore the capsule.
As for my works – it probably will be accessible on my website.
”Fauteuil-caramel”
Below – samples of a work of art, that is part of a series of paintings that I call ”Fauteuil-caramels” … and of course, there is the new addition to it, a DNA sealing!
”Fauteuil-caramels ”, 2016 acryl/oil on wood, external dimension: 21”x17”/ 53cmx43cm
is complete – A stand-alone – but it also works expressively to combine several of them
1/ I will process this images digitally.
2/ The images will be printed – with the highest quality on synthetic canvas –
3/ Then hand painted In selected areas with oil paint.
–
So these works are intended, in such a way that the decorator should be able to combine pieces in the desired color combination, in the desired size and in different directions – horizontally or vertically. There are exciting movements no matter how you choose. I think it adds something extra interesting when the recipient gets the opportunity if desired, to integrate with the work and thus take part in the creation … become co-creative!
I had errands for the art gallery in Trollhรคttan – a work by me, ROOTS was part of Nature Remains&resident Carmen Olsson’s progress – inspiration took hold of me and I slipped into the other resident, Pernilla Eskilsson progress – Cloudy Wagon, I was enchanted and a film is ongoing.
This first part of the film is also in progress. the film is based on an observational, engaging and personal experience of Pernilla’s project.
With a focus on Carmen Olsson… there will be a post later about Pernilla Eskilssons project!
The purpose of this residence time, is to let the artists develop&experiment with ongoing projects. This film is also an ongoing project, a kind of film sketch! In this film you can see a tree from above … it is thanks to Patrik Gunnar Helin and his drone!
It is a fantastic entrance to the area where the art gallery is located … it offers both depth, excitement and incomparable possibilities, if you think about this rabbit’s presence.
Carmen Olsson has been given a residence in Trollhรคttan’s art gallery – and so has the textil artist Pernilla Eskilsson – starting soon. It is possible to visit the art gallery during this time:
WE ARE – Carmen and I – in some collaboration there during her stay.
… again in the light with new meaning!
Wednesday morning a scenery will be moved from my studio to Trollhรคttan … again in the light with new meaning… like magically! We are building a story, through art, through dance, through film โฆ everything matters, all expressions meet in a vortex and have a life of itโs own โฆ we listen โฆ and we are amazed!!
… doesn’t matter if it is an outsider or insider Dragon – it is not easy, you have to practice, every day – to sharpen your focus. The Dragon’s nourishment is your fear, your despair, or your lack of direction.
… and, the truth is, I do not know how to do this … I just know it’s so!
titel: Meet you self in the mirror – and ask your self – Where Are You?
I think I am preparing my self for the infamous dragon people from outer space!!
FABRIC – lizard
Sometimes I get stuck in a fabric store and get so fascinated by fabrics, so between painting and film, I squeeze in the creation of clothes โฆ everything flows, can not be stopped, the latest addition is these
I think that it is in some ways like go into a twilight zoon when traveling by tram in Gothenburg. On the one hand, the trams that go here are often from the 70’s โฆ it feels really strange, considering how everything else has developed since then! And besides, it’s always a bit special because you get trapped in a vehicle with unknown people, all with their different energy bubbles. I will work in this painting like an experiment. I will see if I can land in an abstract description of a moment on a tram… without any people being seen … really nothing should be seen, just felt!
We are building a story, through art, through dance, through film โฆ everything matters, all expressions meet in a vortex and have a life of itโs own โฆ we listen โฆ and we are amazed!
We want, in small portions, share the work with you during the project.
We feel that the way are just as interesting as the finished performance.
so-called artist – like myself – you do not choose, it is only in your genes. It’s a blessing – you live a rich inner life. but it is also horrible, vulnerable and omitting. you stand outside your surroundings โฆ
you are visible but almost never seenโฆ
People in the immediate environment are quite often provoked by the person you are โฆ I do not know why โฆ even those closest to you โฆ it is sometimes very lonely, very sad…
Many times I have been extremely hurt โฆ but I have been quiet about it, because I understand that they do not see… did not understand, or chose not to understand โฆ in any case โฆ why do you/we so easily forget respect โฆ the most monumentally important thingโฆ most important human trait!

Ozzy – The Painting – has been a company in my studio since 2004 – Iยด ve changed some things, it was even
bigger before. Now it is in three pieces instead of five! The Painting was presented at an exhibition at KULTUR
CENTRUM RรDA STEN 2004, and the painting was also included in an retro-exhibition 2005 at Gallery Art Now.
titel:
“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”
For me, this is a very special object/painting… it represents an era, a time when reality shows began… I believe
“The Osbournes” was the first one… wasn’tยดt it?
BY offering themselves completely, the family shown a rare courage, and above all, Ozzy in this series – has given a total insight into human life journey!
– between then and now –
THAT REALITY SHOW… THE OSBOURNS!
I needed it… why, I do not know… I very rarely look at things coming through the tv!
โฆ at that time, when I did my life battle on different issues โ Ozzy Osbourne show โ was just hilarious,
a wonderful window for laffter,
empathy and presensโฆ so, as a reaction to that very special window I summed up my impressions and
experiences in this painting that I gave the title:
“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”
The journey we make between young, carefree, angry and boundless – kind of immortal – to age, become
humble, fill the room with humor and self-distance … it was wonderful right then.
I know no one else who showed it so clearly, in such a simple way, so popular and at the same time for real …
… last night I painted, Lolita has got her face back… what a process!! …and as many close said to me: – put away the board!
I didn’t – put away the board – so now it remains to be seen if this face holds, if I have found the right one! I kind of believe it, although it might not be possible to trust, hmmm …
COLLAGE-presentation. This work makes an important existentiell balance for me towards my painting – where I always move around in the “deep”
creating clothes gives me a wonderful surface… where there is easy to be!

sketches for dance-costume
it is a way to speak
… or not to speak… It is a global language. It is so fascinating – all different ways – from the simplest to the most complex! It is wonderful, fun and ingenious. I think that we are rather unconscious concerning the dress-perspective, in general… despite all the fashion and consuming.

Israelssons installationย Go, Goneย bestรฅr av tio skulpturer i olika storlekar som hรคnger frรฅn taket. Skulpturerna รคr formade som stora sovsรคckar, mjuka och till synes slitna av yttre รฅverkan. Stoppningen รคr synlig och materialet รคr flรคckat, som om det legat ute under lรฅng tid och bearbetats av tidens gรฅng. De omsorgsfullt handsydda skulpturerna vittnar om en stilla vila. Tryggheten sรถmnen inger, men ocksรฅ sรฅrbarheten. Tyget blir dรฅ ett fรถrsvar, ett lager mellan kroppen och vรคrlden som skyddar och vรคrmer mot det som sker utanfรถr. Verkets titelย Go, Goneย antyder att nรฅgot gรฅtt fรถrlorat och fรฅr sovsรคckarna att likna tomma skal. Det enda som รฅterstรฅr รคr minnet av det som en gรฅng funnits. Samtidigt inger den uppmanande titeln ocksรฅ ett hopp om att lรคmna fรถrlusten bakom sig och gรฅ vidare, att bli fri, och precis som puppan i en kokong fรถrvandlas och pรฅnyttfรถdas.
Materialvalet, silke och lรคder, fรถrstรคrker kรคnslan av skulpturerna som kokonger, skapade av naturen snarare รคn syntetiskt framstรคllda av mรคnniskan. Det รคr frรฅn just silkeskokongen som silkestrรฅden utvinns. De tvรฅ materialen silke och lรคder รคr bรฅda organiska naturmaterial, men samtidigt varandras ytterligheter. Dรคr det ena รคr รถmtรฅligt och skirt, รคr det andra tรฅligt, slitstarkt och grovt. Kontrasten mellan materialen, det skira och mjuka, det grova och smutsiga, bidrar till en kรคnsla av sรคllsamhet och fรถrfrรคmligande: fรถremรฅlen kรคnns bekanta men samtidigt underliga.
Go, Gone, 2019-2020, 10 skulpturer, olika dimensioner, silke och lรคder.”
