Abandoning the poetic imagination of classical painting, it is like a daily scene that is full of tension in contemporary realist oil painting.

Restaurant ‘mångata’ means ‘the roadlike reflection of moonlight on water’ in swedish. Our approach for the ‘mångata’ was coexistence. This restaurant serves softness and hardness with variety of experience through the course meal.
