My name is Alexandra Lindgren. I'm born 1991 in Skåne, but is today living in the Gothenburg area. My artist name Mörk Vallmo is Swedish for dark poppy flower. I grew up close to fields where this flower bloomed heavily, so it has always been a personal symbol for me.

My nature is philosophical and scientifical. With a bachelor's degree in Biology I feel inspired of the hidden mysteries in our nature and I can spend a lot of time thinking about this.

In my works I use a dark palette. Dark colours gives me a calm mind and at the same time a deep inner power. Lately I focus on texture and abstract patterns. It seems like my creativity takes me to places where my mind can sit in peace and think about all that wonder of life.

Sometimes I work as an illustrator and I really enjoy painting murals (even if it happens rarely).
