Artist Profile

Karl Westbrook

Karl Westbrook was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, and is an abstract artist exploring colour, memory, and place. Inspired by the palettes he encounters on his travels, he distils landscapes and cityscapes into immersive, atmospheric compositions. Observing the interplay of light and shadow, he translates these impressions into gradients, soft edges, and tonal contrasts that evoke both emotion and geography. Through his work, Karl aims to capture the essence of a place rather than its literal form. His blurred boundaries and hazy transitions mirror the way memories fade and fuse, creating something new yet deeply familiar. From the neon glow of Tokyo to the earthy hues of the Icelandic wilderness, his abstract pieces serve as a visual journal of experiences rendered in colour.
