About Ekta
Ekta is the moniker of the Swedish artist Daniel Götesson, who currently lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden. His work is humbly described by himself as “placing shapes and colours in an order that feels right”. Working with bold geometric shapes and vibrant lines in vivid colours, his work always carries a signature of freedom and excitement. The attentive Jaunt followers might recognize his work from our sixth when Erosie traveled to Sweden and met with Ekta along the way to paint a mural. Now it’s Ekta’s time to travel and become inspired by his new surroundings.

More work of Ekta can be found on his website: www.ekta.nu

A little word by Ekta

“It's almost impossible to get a real feeling for a place in such a short time, I was only in the city for four full days. I did not do any research before the trip as I like to travel to a new place with as few expectations as possible. In the end, Lisbon proved to be a really great city to just walk around and get lost. I was not really using any maps or had any planned destinations during my trip. What I really appreciated in the city was the fact that I was able to feel totally relaxed while painting in the street. People walked past me all the time and did not even register what I was doing or asked any questions about what I was doing. I would love to be in Lisbon for a week of just painting.

I really liked the colours of the city and how the ambiance changed between the different neighborhoods as I was exploring the city on foot. In the end, I think the only conscious decision I made for my print was the colours. I worked in my sketchbook during my stay in Lisbon and took some shapes from there as I started to work on the print in the studio back home. I had a lot of material I could use for references but mainly I just got a lot of energy from the trip and I think that is visible in the print.”
