ABOUT ME

Artist pictures

Jan-Thomas Ölund I am a Swedish artist who is inspired by the minimalist and the japanese Wabi-sabi. I work with various materials to create my art. I strive to create works that evoke emotion and invite viewers to contemplate their deeper meanings. I take great pride in my work and enjoy experimenting with different techniques and materials to create unique pieces. My artwork typically has a subtle, tranquil aesthetic, but I also enjoy exploring more expressive themes. I hope to continue to hone my craft and create meaningful works that connect with viewers.
