Dear friends of ART MONSTERS OF SWEDEN!  Due to all kinds of circumstances, MONSTER TEAN have decided to take a little break with our effort to run ART MONSTERS OF SWEDEN (which is the starting point of the Swedish lowbrow & dark art movement). We WILL be back!

Our original idea was to introduce obscure art genres like lowbrow, pop surrealism, dark art etc on the Swedish art scene because it has been non-existent – and at the same time create a community for Swedish artists who felt at home in our ambition. Our ambition was to arrange curated group shows with amazing Swedish artists within these genres, however, this turned out to be extremely difficult. The Swedish art world did not welcome our movement.

We will now take a break from running this project and collect new energy before we continue our (important) movement. Like all journeys it can take you to new and unexpected places.

This photo was taken in Stockholm 2010, the year I got burned out and got really lost within myself. I couldn’t make art, my creativity got blocked, I stopped believing in myself and slipped into a deep depression. I did not get any support from people close to me, so I was completely alone in the horrible experience of losing myself and my creativity (and a big part of my career as a result).

In 2014, after I was sexually assaulted in my sleep (in my own bed by my boyfriend at the time) I had to leave my old life behind. Since I had no income, it was a very difficult time and for a year I was without a home, crashing on my parent’s couch. I had lost everything a person could possibly lose.

Here is my new logotype! It’s not perfect yet but it works for now. In 2020 I will make my comeback in the art world after being on a long (very long) hiatus after I got burned out. I am starting over, with a new business, new exciting collections and many fun new projects – and  a new logo to boot!
