This was last February, when I realized that I wasn’t able to continue painting everyday like I had been doing until then. The biggest change was that Olivia started sleeping only one nap a day, leaving me with no extra time to work. I decided to focus on my baby, although I did feel I was failing at my work. I’m happy I’ve been enjoying motherhood these past 6 months but I I also hope I can get back to painting as I have so many ideas and projects in mind

Me: I’m going to get so much done while the kids sleep Also me: takes photos of my kids sleeping Who else has done this? And then I lay down next to them to “just enjoy the silence for a second” and suddenly wake up 2 hours later

Midsummer three years ago I was painting this artwork mixing photography and acrylic paint on aluminium. A young woman wearing a flower crown, typical at Scandinavian Midsommar celebrations, fused with a wave of water washing over her. Midsommar has always been my favorite day of the year and I really wanted to take a cute photo wearing a flowercrown but Olivia and I have been sick all week so we canceled that plan. Maybe next week we try again. If anyone from Marbella knows where I can get a nice one let me know!🌸 👑

When was the last time you learned or did something new? Maybe it was a new word, a recipe, a new ability, or just a piece of information you didn’t know. I sometimes feel stuck in routine or too lazy to start something new, but trying something for the first time can lead to unexpected changes in your life. Since becoming a mum I’ve learned so many new things about children and parenting and I feel that also my values and beliefs are evolving, and so is my artwork as a reflection of my view of life. #painting #artwork #paintingoftheday #paintingart #paintingprocess #paintersofinstagram #artist #artistoninstagram #artistinstudio #mixedmediaart #acrylicpainting #portraitpainting #abstractpainting #contemporaryart #paintingreel #paintingsforsale

Swipe for some spring feelings we’ve had in Marbella this week. The last photo is the coziest I know

Throwback to this artwork “Flight of swallows” with my little bean when she was about 4 months old. Time flies

These months I’ve been completely focused on my children and I realised I feel better when I don’t spend so much time on my phone, so I haven’t shared a lot lately. But as today’s #Mothersday2022 I feel inspired to share this video with little moments from these days and I want to say how lucky I feel to be a mum to two wonderful children who mean the world to me. I hope I can find time to share more art related content in the future but right now it’s mostly just my babies and me

In just a few days my little Olivia is turning 2 years old and while looking for gifts I came across this beautiful star lamp. I love wooden toys and deco, specially if it’s handmade, so it was an easy decision for me, and once it arrived I couldn’t wait till her birthday so we’re already using it. It’s the Super Star Lamp from @cradlebubble made of Baltic Birch wood. They also gave me a discount code to share with my followers: CAROLINE25 so I hope you can use it to find some cute gifts for your kids, they have all kinds of toys and kids furniture on their page ☺️

Posting on a Monday in the middle of the afternoon because at this point I don’t even remember how to social media haha. Both kids are asleep so I just feel like taking these crazy risks. Some people jump out of airplanes, I know, but right now getting 10 minutes to myself on the phone feels super exciting. So, here you go, this weeks print on fine art paper. Have a great day everyone!

Ready for winter season to be over and actually feel some spring in the air!

Inspired by the beautiful tiles of @mosaic.factory I’ve been experimenting with some new patterns in my artwork. I had the pleasure to visit their factory two years ago and see in person how their tiles are made, which is an art form in itself.
