A Hand-Embellished Unique begins as a digital painting, rendered as a fine art print, and then evolves further—transformed by hand with paint, varnish, transfers, or other materials.

It is always one-of-one, connected to a limited edition, and often becomes the largest and most statement-making work in the series.

Every piece I create is made to last. I use only the highest artist-grade materials—whether pigment, paper, canvas, board, or sculptural media.

Editions are printed on museum-grade archival fine art paper, using pigment-based processes that preserve chroma, nuance, and intent for generations. The premium frames with UV-glass are Made in Germany from FSC-certified wood. Originals, hand-embellished works, and sculptures are made with the same commitment to artist grade materials, permanence and depth.

Behind the Artwork

After nearly 16 years abroad, my family and I have relocated back to Sweden.

When we first set out, I had no idea we’d be away this long—or how deeply the journey would shape us. It hasn’t been straight or simple—but maybe that’s the point. The further I wandered, the more I welcomed straying from the path. And somewhere along the way, I realized: we don’t journey to arrive. Being almost there is often better than arriving. It’s where growth happens—still open, never done.

To mark this transition, I wanted to create something vivid—melancholy dipped in sunshine.

Suspended between past and future the artwork carries the weight of departure and the pull of what comes next. It’s a reflection of the leap that began my art journey, a nod to everything that’s followed, and an open door to what’s still ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

All artworks are shipped worldwide with insured courier service to ensure safe delivery.

Prints typically arrive within 5–10 business days. If you're located further away from Europe, it may take a little longer.

Originals and Hand-Embellished Uniques may require additional time, especially if the piece is part of an ongoing exhibition or in preparation.

If you have any questions or specific timing concerns, please don't hesitate to email me. I’m happy to help.

EU: No import charges.

Other Countries: Customs and import taxes are set by local laws. Orders below a certain value may be exempt, while higher-value orders may incur duties or sales tax.

My work is signed and numbered at the point of creation.

Originals, artist proofs, and hand-embellished uniques are signed by hand, marking the moment my hand enters the surface.

Editions, unless otherwise stated, are signed and numbered during the printing process itself, with the mark integrated directly into the piece. This ensures both consistency and integrity across the edition.

Every work is archived, recorded, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

Each piece is made to order, which means I’m unable to accept returns. However, if your print arrives damaged—or in the very rare case that it has a defect—it will be replaced.

To process a replacement, I’ll ask for a few photos or a short video of the damage. This helps us file a claim with the insured courier service and ensure the issue is properly covered.
