Mauritzson is fascinated by preserving the things that are good about life and which last through time such as family and memories. In the still-life painting, Long Live Tom King we are presented with an eclectic mix of precious objects referencing the artist’s life, hobbies, random collectables, and times past. The work even includes a humorous reference to “the king” and when presented alone without the actual title, Mauritzson leaves the painting open for interpretation. Mauritzson’s artistic practice and process of painting are subjective, and she translates feelings into her works with the hope that her paintings, in turn, awaken feelings in the viewer. Throughout her extensive oeuvre of paintings, Mauritzson presents us with a self-portrait of who she is, and at the same time, we are welcome to be a part of her world.
