Research-based painting project, initiated 2026.
The Vasa Project is an ongoing body of work developed through research into the 17th-century warship Vasa and the historical, material, and symbolic layers surrounding it.
Rather than approaching the ship as an object of historical representation, the project explores its surfaces, structures, and fragments as carriers of time, weight, and memory. The work develops through drawing, material studies, and painting, focusing on texture, erosion, and the tension between monument and ruin.
Research includes observation at the Vasa Museum as well as studies of historical imagery, structural forms, and maritime environments.
The project is still in its exploratory phase and forms part of a longer investigation into how history and material presence can be translated into contemporary painting.
