[AD] What if the first thing your guests felt wasn’t the furniture or the lighting, but the wall itself?
Not just seen, but sensed. Not just decorated, but activated. That’s the transformative power of Erik Skoldberg’s large-format abstract work. Skoldberg’s pieces don’t hang. They hold space.
And increasingly, they’re showing up inside $100 million developments, boutique hotels, and luxury residences from Nashville to La Jolla. Because Abstract Artist Erik Skoldberg , is not just an expert in scale. He’s a master of emotional color theory, spatial rhythm, and installation precision.

Endeavor Group, one of the most ambitious developers in the Southeast, commissioned a 16-foot Skoldberg original to anchor the main lobby of the 1222 Building in downtown Nashville.
That piece wasn’t just installed. It was engineered. Coordinated with architects, lighting designers, and build teams to ensure scale, depth, reflection, and movement—all in perfect harmony.
“He doesn’t just paint. He choreographs the wall. He understands the psychology of entry.” —Director of Development, Endeavor Group
In a building where millions were spent on materials, technology, and finishes, Erik’s artwork became the emotional centerpiece.
What If One Painting Could Change How a Building Feels?
The reason Skoldberg is a developer’s best-kept secret isn’t just his style. It’s the way he designs for feeling:
• Calm blues for wellness centers and spa spaces
• Iridescent silvers and blacks to anchor corporate lobbies
• Neon and metallic overlays in hospitality venues for visual rhythm
• Greens and neutral layers inspired by forests, mountains, and earth
When you walk into a building with a Skoldberg, the art doesn’t meet your eyes. It meets your nervous system.

Urban Energy to Organic Texture: Where Skoldberg Pulls His Palette
Erik doesn’t use color randomly. He travels with intent.
• In Aspen, he studies the birch trees and alpine shadows. Photographs bark, captures the green of algae streaming through mountain water.
• In New York, he films puddles reflecting Times Square’s light on the sidewalk.
• In Tokyo, he records color flashes off train sparks and vending machine glow.
His Urban Series is born from movement. His Studio Floor Collection is the emotional archive. But for developers, his abstract commissions combine macro vision and micro patterning in one canvas.
“His work is like a slow-motion replay of motion itself. It breathes.” —Principal, AD100 Interior Firm

When DJ Zeddcommissioned a custom piece for his 9,400-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion, it wasn’t a branding play. It was emotional. He wanted a work that vibrated with energy butgrounded the space.
“I see the painting every morning. It moves with the light. It’s like it’s still composing.” —Zedd, Architectural Digest
Skoldberg responded with a triptych built on sonic movement, color response, and layered music memory. It didn’t just match the home. It completed it.

Color Mastery + Scale = Emotional Architectur
Large-scale art is not just about going bigger.
It’s about understanding how a space breathes:
• Where people pause
• How light hits across the day
• What feelings emerge in transition points: from elevator to boardroom, from check-in to cocktail hour
Skoldberg builds for those transitions. With over 18+ layers per piece, he engineers for light response, spatial vibration, and resonance.
“He paints in rhythms, not strokes. You don’t just look. You move with it.” —Design Director, Hospitality Group
