As an organizer of art projects, a juror in various types of visual arts competitions, a painter, designer, and photographer with many years of international experience, as part of the Royal Blue Visual Arts Gallery, I want to continue my mission of promoting art and culture. I do this not only in the Stockholm region, Sweden, but also globally.

About us
The Royal Blue Visual Arts Gallery combines a classic gallery with an extra online Virtual Reality Gallery, and an intimate photography studio.
Our mission at Royal Blue Visual Arts Gallery is to promote artists and their art, and to present it to as wide an audience as possible. As part of this mission, we create solo and group exhibitions, thematic Open Calls exhibitions.
In addition to projects we organize, we offer artists the chance to jointly participate under the gallery’s banner in events such as art fairs, exhibitions organized in cooperation with galleries from other cities in Sweden and other countries.
Royal Blue – Facts or legends
Royal Blue – the name of the gallery derives from the color name. Wikipedia defines royal blue as a deep and vibrant shade of blue. Legends say it was created in England by clothiers in Rode, Somerset, whose consortium won a competition to make a gown for Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III.
Oxford English Dictionary defines “royal blue” as “deep, vibrant blue,” while Cambridge English Dictionary defines it as a “strong light blue color”, a Collins English Dictionary defines it as a “dark blue colour”. American dictionaries refer to it as more closely related to purple, such as “deep, vivid reddish or purplish blue” (Webster’s New World College Dictionary) or “vivid purple blue” (Merriam-Webster).
We love them all!
Photography
We invite you to intimate photo sessions – portrait, artistic, and thematic – both in our studio and outdoors. You can come solo, with a partner, family, and friends, or even with beloved pets like dogs and cats.
Photographers are also welcome! Besides organizing exhibitions, photographers can rent our studio for their own intimate photo sessions.
Location
We invite you to visit Royal Blue VA Gallery for new exhibitions and to enjoy the nearby attractions. A trip here offers art in the area, numerous restaurants, and kids’ attractions in the parks – all within a 1 km radius. It’s a fantastic way to spend time alone, with family, or with a group of friends.
You can reach the gallery by metro from Slussen station in central Stockholm in just 15 minutes. We’re only 400 m from Telefonplan metro station (T-bana) and 230 m from Konstfack. This area’s history, especially with LM Ericsson, has played a key role in Stockholm’s development.
Within 1 km of Royal Blue Gallery, you’ll find dozens of restaurants, so there’s something for everyone. Plus, the region’s best bakery, Söderbergs Bageri, is right here.
From Royal Blue Gallery, heading north on Pingstvägen to Mellanbergsvägen in the south, you’ll discover Lurparken (a creative play park with an amphitheater) and Teaterparken.
On the opposite side of Pingstvägen, 650 m from the gallery, there’s another park with a playground, a basketball court, and in summer, an open wading pool and barbecue area. All the parks in the area are art-inspired.
Royal Blue Gallery is located on LM Ericssons Väg, where the KONSTRUNDA MIDSOMMARKRANSEN takes place annually with growing interest. Since 1999, this “Konstrunda” has been held twice a year, in April and November, bringing together artists, art galleries, and art studios in the Midsommarkransen area, which includes Telefonplan.
Nearby is also Konstfack – University of Arts, Crafts, and Design – an art school that has welcomed dreamers, revolutionaries, activists, and utopians since 1844. They also have an unusual, ambitious student art gallery where we highly recommend checking out their Degree Exhibitions.
