About this artwork
During the first Covid lockdown when there was no chance to travel, I spent a lot of time on walks in the rural countryside near my home. Spring turned into summer and the fields changed colour. The patchwork patterns of fields and orchards set amongst the hills and forests were a source of fascination. I love the contrast of nature's organic forms with the geometric man-imposed order. This theme I explored this in a whole series of mainly small-works…
called Farmfield Geometry.

« My works are reduced inner landscapes that invite the viewer to interpret the mood or atmosphere, whether calm, meditative, melancholy, playful, or joyous. »

Inspired by masters such as Monet and Cézanne, alongside Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Cy Twombly, Eriksson creates compositions that invite the viewer to feel moved, uplifted, and immersed in a contemplative emotional space. "
