Last year I travelled to USA and Europe and produced a series of photographs that has influenced new paintings. Most of the photographs were taken in Stockholm, northern Sweden and Cape Cod, USA, around dusk, when the sun had just fallen below the horizon.

The majority of the paintings depict Angermanalven, the longest river in the north of Sweden that travels from the alpine regions bordering Norway, to the Baltic Sea in the east. Here, the photographs were taken during the summer, when the light fades around midnight, creating a heavy contrast of tone and casting shadows of pine forests that surround the rivers edge.
