“I
n my art I move the border between reality and fantasy, using strong colors typical of the Swedish region of Skane.
Ever since I was a child, I’ve been interested in drawing and painting. This interest has grown into a deep passion for sculpturing, and I’ve been working with stoneware for the last 20 years. I like to experiment and mix materials and sometimes use metal in my pieces. Digital art has also become a part of my work. The creative process fills me with genuine happiness, which I hope reflects in my compositions.

Meeting people who have made an impression on me often intertwines with my art in one way or the other. Nature is also fundamental as a source of inspiration. A key element in many of my pieces is leaves, and I like to imagine things that might be hidden underneath. It could be a special feeling or an occasion. I never calculate in advance. I just let the emotions and colors lead me in the creative moment. It is like a meditative state of mind. @artklemendz “The Queen of the Night” 2021, Stoneware , w 18.1”
