Linus Cinnamoni (born 1982, Lund; based in Viken, Sweden) is a contemporary artist whose work gives form to instinct, memory, and play.
His paintings are vivid, symbol-heavy, and resistant to easy categorisation. While echoes of pop or urban expression may surface, Linus’s visual language is entirely his own. Figures and symbols emerge intuitively rather than being planned, forming layered compositions that feel personal yet strangely universal. The work doesn’t ask to be decoded. It asks to be felt.
Linus’s path to art was unconventional. Before committing to painting, he competed professionally as an elite golfer - a background that shaped his relationship with discipline, focus, and repetition. In 2019, he describes a creative reawakening: a return to drawing that unlocked a freer, more expressive way of working. From that point on, art became central.
His practice is defined by bold colour, hand-drawn detail, and character-driven imagery. He often incorporates reclaimed or found materials - cracked bricks, broken objects, fragments of fabric - allowing wear, damage, and history to remain visible. His figures, both human and animal, are deliberately raw and primitive, rejecting realism in favour of honesty and immediacy. Imperfection isn’t corrected; it’s embraced.
Since dedicating himself fully to his practice, Linus’s work has entered private collections across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Collectors are drawn not only to the energy and joy of the work, but to its originality - a visual language that feels unreferenced, intuitive, and alive.
For Linus, art is a way of connecting - not through explanation, but through shared instinct, colour, and mark-making. His paintings create a space where play, reflection, and discovery coexist.
