ABOUT ME

I am an artist, 45 years old, and has worked as such since I took my Master of Fine Arts 1999.
There are some to see of that on my homepage: www.rikard.yolasite.com
I have until recently lived in Stockholm with my family, have 3 children, 20, 12 and 8 years old. I divorced in december 2012 and now I am on my way to undertake a longer trip, hitchhiking through Russia to Kazakstan. There I will take part in an international contemporary Art Festival by the name ArtBat starting the 5th of September. I am leaving Sweden the 1st of July. After Kazakstan I plan to continue my travel through China, Nepal and India to Sri Lanka where I have a friend that I will visit. My plan is to reunite with my chldren there before we go back home together.
