About

Lives and works in Malmö, Sweden

Jon’s work is characterised by memories of his travels and observations of the passing world, which he interprets and combines into sceneries with a touch of nostalgia and dreamlike atmosphere.

His paintings are characterized by a pale Scandinavian color palette and the use of simple, flat shapes. Through slow, contemplative compositions, he captures static movements—rippling water, quiet landscapes—where the human figure appears as a delicate accent of color. This figure integrates seamlessly with the surrounding space, creating a harmonious balance that evokes tranquility, peace, and simplicity in the viewer.

His long-standing fascination with Eastern culture, philosophy, and aesthetics—particularly the Japanese tradition—infuses his works with a subtle oriental touch, adding depth and a meditative quality to his artistic vision.
