Hi, I’m Joakim.

I make art that feels honest, messy and alive.

I’m an artist with a background in graphic design. Bold lines, strange figures and geometric shapes find their way into my work, somewhere between playful balance and a little chaos.

I work with oil, acrylics, crayons and digital tools. Sometimes it starts with a quick sketch on my phone. Sometimes with a canvas that I keep painting over. There’s no fixed route, just curiosity and a willingness to see where it goes.

It starts with play.

A small sketch. A strange shape. One colour on top of another. I build, layer and repaint until the piece begins to feel right.

Drawing with my kids reminds me how much happens when you stop second-guessing every mark. I try to bring that same openness to my own work: intuitive, a bit unpredictable, and never too precious.

I’m drawn to Art Brut, Neo-Expressionism and Cubism, and to the energy and forms of Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso and Le Corbusier. I’m still figuring out what my own voice looks like, one piece at a time.
