Hampus Michaelartz Sjöberg’s artistic practice is a process of seeking balance—between pain and beauty, depth and playfulness. His paintings explores identity, relationships, and experiences drawn from both his own and others’ realities, while drawing strength and inspiration from art history and popular culture. Through his paintings, he shows that art can be a space where emotions and experiences take shape, transforming into something both deeply personal and universally shared.
It is through color, art , text, and his distinct visual style that Hampus tells his stories—stories of loss, love, and longing, but also of hope, humor, and the possibility of creating something new out of what once was. Every color carries its own narrative, but it is in the meeting of these colors that the whole comes alive. Pain becomes a color, relationships become images, and aesthetics become the rhythm that ties everything together. By reflecting on his work, Hampus sees how these elements continuously return in his texts, paintings, and visual worlds. Art is his refuge and his voice, and through it, he continues to explore what it means to be himself.
