'Creatura' is an ongoing and eclectic collection of paintings born from creative play and living quietly within my studio practice. The works are inspired by the magic animals have carried through myth and memory.

In many early cultures — including my own nordic heritage — animals were seen as guides, protectors, even godlike beings woven into the fabric of everyday life. These pieces draw from that lineage of folk tradition and symbolism, celebrating the creatures who have always held a place in our imaginations. Painted by following childlike impulse and a sense of play and intuition, 'Creatura' invites you into a world where animals speak, listen, and remind us of the ancient threads connecting all living things.
