Art & Architecture

Transforming recognizable forms into contemporary art. My work documents the intersection of memory, place, and structure – from echoes of the past to the intimacy of the human figure.

Architecture

Exploring the relationship between memory, place and built form. After 25+ years founding PM-architecten Belgium, my architectural practice continues to investigate how space shapes human experience.

Example of a painting

Contemporary Art

Reworking imagery of the world through systematic transformation between figurative and abstract. Creating new ways of seeing through painting and mixed media, revealing hidden relationships between memory, form and perception.

Spatial Interventions

Site-specific works where art and architecture converge - from monumental installations to environmental interventions investigating the dialogue between materials, space, and human experience.

My work explores systematic transformation between figurative and abstract, applying architectural precision to conceptual goals. Through this methodology, I document the evolving relationship between structure, nature, and human intervention.

ABOUT US

Barts Ateljé AB has strong emphasis on circularity within creative processes.

My multidisciplinary studio creates art and architecture in a strong relation to a circular vision of how our world can function. The reliving of objects, both in imagery and materials has always had an emphasis in my creative career.

After founding and running the architecture and engineering office PM-architecten BV in Belgium for 25+ years, I have chosen to further explore the world creatively in Sweden, seeking to give it form with the use of circular and contemplative concepts.  My experience, which gave me a profound knowledge of design, different techniques and reflecting on complex questions, has paved the way to create a richer pallet to interpret the world. The Swedish word “Ateljé” refers to a qualitative environment where creativity thrives to reinvent the world every day.
