Biography
Born in Stockholm, 1955, I currently live
and work just outside the small town
of Lidköping, in the southwestern part of
Sweden. Here I have my home, my gallery and
my studio – Studio MB.
To me color and shape are the most important.
Human and animal behaviour fascinates me
and often reflects in my work. I try not
to be too controlled, my goal is to paint
what I feel - often without knowing exactly
where that will lead. It often takes many
layers until I am satisfied, but sometimes
a painting is finished in a heartbeat!
Mainly autodidact.
