Greetings!

I go by Raidn Knox

A self-proclaimed, not-formally-art-educated and stubborn artist from Sweden. I wasn’t interested in art from an early age, nor very good at it frankly. But, as a teenager needing external validation, my art-start was simply the fusion between a fascination by tattoos and wanting to be good at something.

I paint for a ridiculous amount of reasons

These days it’s mainly to reflect, process and communicate. Though, it used to be a vital escape from a reality that wasn’t the nicest to experience. Due to years of mental health struggles I needed moments of distraction from my own head. Eventually that escape became a way to acknowledge reality.

Painting made things a little better.

What I get from my art.

( Among other things )

  1. Communication
    Talking can be exhausting, while staying focused is a challenge. Art allows me to communicate on my terms.
  1. Peace and quiet
    Due to having a bit of a chaotic brain configuration, I tend to drain much needed energy. Painting gives me a moment to focus and recharge.
  1. Self Reflection
    I can ponder and reflect while painting. It gives me time to understand myself without trying to tell me how to feel.
  1. Letting Go
    While painting I can spend hours on one thing, only to realise it doesn’t work. It can be discouraging but it’s not wasted time. You just try something else. 
  1. Patience
    It doesn’t matter if a painting takes 2 hours or 200. It is done when it is done. Trusting the process allows me to be in the moment.
  1. The Feeling
    Usually there’s a specific feeling that dictates the direction of a painting, while music and storytelling enhances it.
