"Art sets the tone in every room. It gives the final touch - and sound."

Artist Mikael Lindgren

Tell us a little bit about yourself. Who is Michael?

I grew up in a small village called Kallax outside of Luleå in northern Sweden. Originally I am an air force officer, flight and civil engineer. But then life had other plans for me - so I became an entrepreneur and self-employed person, skater and artist.

Where do you live and what do you work with?

I live in Luleå and Budapest. My days look very different. I am part of different companies. In some I am the owner, in others I am a board member or chairman. However, I spend most of my time skating and painting.

How did you find your creativity?

I have always been creative and creative, but mainly through my life as an entrepreneur. I only found painting at a later point in time. In 2019 I painted my first picture and since then I can't stop.

Where do you get your inspiration from?

My inspiration for creativity comes from the amazing people around me. The inspiration for what I make of it often comes from different accounts on Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest.

What do you think wall art can bring into a home?

Art sets the tone in every room. It gives the final touch and sound. What do you have on the walls at home? I almost use my home as my own gallery. I have some of my new original paintings hanging at home waiting to be photographed or shipped to their new owner.
