I am a Swedish multidisciplinary artist who crafts not only art but lasting memories, using live models in a dynamic creative process.
I create various forms of artwork, each with its own unique expression and material. My portfolio ranges from bodypaint photography and performance-based paintings to traditional paintings and resin sculptures.
Transforming the human body into a canvas, blending bodypaint and light with photography.
Combining photography with brushstrokes for unique mixed media pieces.
Created live during performances, capturing the energy of the moment alongside bodypaint and video art.
Traditional paintings using contemporary techniques.
Combining video, performance, and storytelling to create immersive art experiences.
Sculptures made from resin with the help of the sun in a mix of form and texture.
My art-making process is unconventional, blending photography, video, and painting simultaneously. I use live models as canvases, capturing their painted bodies on film while also creating impressions on canvas laid on the floor. This approach allows me to produce multiple unique works in a single session.

YVES KLEIN TRIBUTE SERIES
One of my latest collections, the Yves Klein Tribute Series, pays homage to the innovative spirit of Yves Klein. This series captures Klein’s bold use of color, especially his iconic blue, reinterpreted through my own perspective.
“I never seen anything like this”
“The the power of Johan’s creations is just stunning”
“Unique, just unique”
ART HOUSE – EL MARTINETE VILLA
My work extends beyond individual pieces; I also craft immersive spaces and events, such as at the historic Villa El Martinete. This remarkable venue, rich with connections to Antonio Ruiz Soler and Picasso, provides an environment where art, history, and contemporary creativity come together for a full sensory experience.
Inspired by the legendary Yves Klein and sharing the same art house as Pablo Picasso himself.
CREATE ART WITH MADONNA, LADY GAGA AND KATY PERRY
My goal is to create with living icons like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and other role models, developing an iconic art series for display in some of the world’s most esteemed museums.
Raw energy and empowerment: My art combines the vivid expressiveness of painting with the evocative power of photography, forming the core of my artistic universe.
