Mother’s Flowers
When I return home from Italy and put the oil paints aside, I find my way back to watercolor. There is something about flowers that always helps me come home to myself. I go out into my mother’s garden, pick a few flowers, and place them in water. The colors feel familiar, the scent too.
It becomes a pause from everything that asks too much — a moment where I simply paint what feels safe. My mother has always kept flowers in the house, and in some way it feels like painting her, or at least what she has given me. A kind of quiet thank you.
This painting was created in the calm between everything.
Sundborn
When I visited Falun and Sundborn, which were incredibly beautiful and inspiring, I painted several motifs. There is something about this particular one that brings me back to the day we were there and everything we experienced. That is why I chose this tree as my winter print.

About Me
Exhibitions & Projects
I have done 2 exhibitions in Sweden, my first in Stockholm at No18 offices, my second at Lars Lerin's Sandgrund in Karlstad, and 1 in Åland at Åland Art Musem so far, and a few projects such as Majblomman and Örebro Rådhuskalender (Örebro Townhall Art Fair).
I dream of doing exhibitions at other cities such as New York, Miami, Berlin, Oslo and Helsinki for example. Maybe one day!
Press
I try to upload some of the press that I have received. Click to see more. I think it's very fun to speak with journalists, but I often get the same questions :) They ask where I get my inspiration, and if my younger brother Wille likes to paint as well (he doesn't), and how it feels to be talented at making paintings. :-)
I really lov

I really love to talk about what my art means to me, and what some of my paintings stand for, and what I wish to show with my art.

Bio
I enjoy Skatebording and hiking in my spare time and many of my pieces are directly influenced by these hikes in nature. I love recreating plants and wildlife in my work.
Tim Bergling Foundation
Painting for Avicci
Tim Bergling Foundation organized the Avicii Tribute Concert for Mental Health Awareness at the Friends Arena in Tim’s hometown of Stockholm, Sweden. Well over 50 000 people were gathered in the audience to pay tribute and make it an unforgettable event, with Tim’s songs performed live with many of the original vocalists and a large band complete with strings, horn section and choir. The evening started off with sets from some of the world’s biggest DJs who were also friends of Tim. All the artists waived their performance fee in homage to Tim and to contribute to the Tim Bergling Foundation. Maxi was asked by Tim´s father Klas Bergling to paint a portrait live on stage to be given to the winner.
