Fly to Stockholm on Olympic Air

2016

Materials:

Fresco on stone brick and masonry

Location:

Basement of the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm

I painted this fresco with an image of an Olympic Air flight attendant listening to music in the basement of the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, where I was invited to teach as a visiting fresco artist. The 17th century building is located on Skeppsholmen Island – the former site of The Admiralty.

The space where the fresco is painted is inaccessible to the general public; the only potential viewers are the people who maintain the building and need to access its underground warehouses, as well as students who occasionally find themselves there.
