STATEMENT

I am nothing. I am everything.

Deeply privileged  to communicate through color, self-expression and embody a focal point of provocation, wisdom, and pivotal change. My preferred vessels for creation are acrylic, oil pastel, ink on canvas.

I am passionate about unpacking the themes of self-identity, the interior world, and body positivity. Ethereal connection to the journey between life and death - death and life; the very essence of rebirth. The chambers of the interior world represents the truth and rawness of life. Within the core of that world, the awe of our greatness from the beauty that dwells within and throughout - as above, so below - is revealed. The mirror within our inner prism is the ancient wisdom rediscovered.

Through embedded symbolism, geometric channeling, and the unity of light and dark, I have come to see the human form as a celebration of the divine feminine and sacred masculine through a lens of integrated consciousness. The Soulouette, a distinct shape, five-pointed star with concave lines is a transmission of my ancient remembrance. It is spiritual technology which takes my observer on a journey through the micro- and macro-cosmic vessels in human nature - the soul portrayed as vast as the galaxy and as minute as the atom.

Enlightenment is awakening from the dream of the character one plays in their journey of life", Shakespeare said. Realizing that life’s twists, turns, and trauma were merely the mural theater I was born to paint coming into this life, I have awakened through my expression of the Soulouette figure.

The core philosophy of Soulouette was inspired by my father, who in 2016 passed on into new life, energetically handing down his life codes to me and my children. My iridescent stripes and patchwork patterns, in their floral, marine, and animalistic forms, are inspired by my children who I allow to grow and roam wild and free between their darkness and light. Non-dualist master Nisargadatta Maharaj once said, “Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves.” My childrens’ limitless transformation, despite the disheartening challenges of 2020, inspired me to create relentlessly in a world where self-worth must be painstakingly earned and manifested, all while deafening oneself to the voices of self-defeat.

To fulfill my highest reality would be to unify the story of the Soulouette in its infinite forms in all of my paintings. The Soulouette's omnipresence and viral nature would activate the inherent and expressive creativity in those thirsty for inspiration and help them transmute trauma the way art has for me. With every stroke of color and mix of paint onto my canvas, I hereby command ripples within spirals to heal the mind, body, and souls of all those who wish to see.

I now see that inflection points of struggle can be transmuted into triumphant chapters of our personal stories. Many of the decisions I’ve made in adulthood, such as to painstakingly navigate the capitalistic corporate world, were not for nothing. I’ve raised two beautiful children, Magnus, 15, and Anja, 8, with the help of my immediate family’s unconditional devotion. In the wake of self-knowledge and healing, recognizing that my shadow - whether inherited through ancestral pain, my nonlinear upbringing, or embracing my dark feminine traits - are all beautiful gifts I am continuing to decode by way of my art. With absolute power comes absolute darkness, converging into the spirals where all sides coexist. Rumi once said, “The wound is the place where light enters.”

My personal enlightenment broke through by way of absolute surrender and faith in my visions. My visions of these ethereal cloud-shaped silhouettes of the soul are keys the universe granted me, reverberating since the day I put my paint brush on canvas.
