Tomas Hammar
Tomas Hammar is an abstract and figurative artist from Stockholm, Sweden, whose artistic ambition is to create the perfect balance between mathematical precision, chaos, and harmony.
He draws his inspiration from spontaneous moments in everyday life and the emotions that emerge during the creative process. Using brushes, scrapers, and sponges, he allows his motifs to unfold through large, sweeping movements, which he then completes with detailed precision.
Thanks to his background as a photographer, Tomas has over the years developed a sharp eye for lighting, composition, and color nuances, which greatly benefits him in his creative work today.
Since 2017, Tomas has sold his art to more than 30 countries across five different continents. With his 200,000 followers on Instagram and an impressive exhibition history spanning Sweden and the rest of Europe, Tomas has gained recognition for his art and captivated audiences worldwide.

Galleri Hammar
Galleri Hammar was founded in 2023 by the artist couple Tomas and Mimmi Hammar, who had long shared a dream of owning their own gallery where they could exhibit their art together.
The idea of establishing an art gallery in Vasastan was born as early as 2017, when Tomas was at the beginning of his artistic journey. After the impact of the pandemic, that ambition became even clearer. In May 2023, Galleri Hammar opened its doors at Rörstrandsgatan 28 and is now located at Sankt Eriksgatan 74. Today, the gallery represents around 20 artists working across painting, sculpture and mixed media.
Galleri Hammar offers a broad selection of Scandinavian art from both established artists and emerging talents whose works move, challenge and inspire. Our vision is to create an innovative, inclusive, unconventional and accessible space for both artists and clients. We constantly strive to offer a unique, modern and relaxed environment where meaningful encounters, interesting conversations and lasting relationships help create a sense of community for all visitors.
Before Tomas and Mimmi began their artistic careers, Tomas worked in photography and television production for over 20 years, while Mimmi worked in HR for almost 10 years. Their diverse backgrounds have been highly valuable in their shared professional journey and are often reflected in their roles as both artists and gallerists.
