Born into a family of artists, canvas and paint has been a natural part of Moa's life. “My mum, grandmother, uncle, brother and cousin, almost my entire family paints,” she says.
It started for real when Moa took art courses in L.A., which she combined with her studies in business and marketing. Then the pandemic hit. “L.A. had become a ghost town, and we weren’t allowed to go out,” Moa explains. During that time, she decided to return to her hometown of Helsingborg, where shewas born and raised.
One sunny day, her mum stood ready with canvas and her old painting kit to cheer up the gloomy and empty atmosphere that the pandemic had brought. Together, they could lose themselves in painting, an activity Moa now can't live without.

“You can look at my work and understand where I am emotionally,” Moa clarifies. Her beautiful creations follow her hormonal cycle, feelings and mood. Now, with summer around the corner, Moa feels energized and paintings become more charming, with lots of flowers and fruits in pastel colors, everything with a touch of femininity like the painting called “Fruktstund”.
“I am addicted to Halloween; I love that time of year. It's dark and cozy,” she stated. She explains how her paintings in autumn become deeper and somewhat cooler, featuring elements like a big red chili, Coca-cola can or simply darker colors. When Moa explains this I can truly follow her explanation as I immerse myself in her art.

During the process Moa changes direction a lot. "I think I'm finished, but then a new idea strikes me, and I just have to start over," Moa explains. Each version of the painting holds a piece of the journey, a snapshot of her thoughts at that moment. "You cannot imagine how many ideas and different objects there are under the top layer of the original paintings," Moa says. When you buy one painting, you're actually getting the time, energy, and countless ideas for many more.
