I can now finally tell you that I have been assigned an honourable commission by the Royal Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. Over the next three years I will design the artwork for the Nobel diploma in Economy, Chemistry and Physics. This year I will create The Swedish National Banks prize in Economy in the memory of Alfred Nobel.

Below is an extract of the written confirmation that was sent to me from the Permanent Secretary Staffan Nordmark, Stockholm, on the 8th of June 2011.

Quote: I hereby confirm that you are the chosen Nobel artist for 2011. You will be offered the opportunity to participate in the making of the Nobeldiploma for three years and by that be given the opportunity to design the artwork to all three diplomas. Your topic this year will be Economy.

By tradition the bound leather for the diplomas have different colours. The Economy diploma is golden brown, Chemistry is red and the Physics diploma is blue. The colour palette that I have chosen works with the golden brown leather. The medium I work in is collage painted with acrylics.

The calligrapher Annika Rücker have to take my colours into account when she writes the beautiful, graceful text to accompany it. The final work is then bound by the bookbinder Ingemar Dackeus, in Farsta.

When the diplomas are finished they are laid into a blue suede box which has the Nobel prize winners gold initials on it, ready to be handed over at the prize ceremony on the 10th of December in Stockholm.

My work on the Chemistry Nobel Diploma for Brian K. Koblika and Robert J. Lefkowitz is now completed.

This years composition can be seen as an inner abstract universe in colour harmonising with the oxblood leather which it is bound in.

The Chemistry Nobel Diploma:

The personal the personal text I wrote, accomanying the diploma to the winners was:

"In our inner universe there are patterns within the bodies natural makeup which form like life giving puzzles.

Microbiological communication which helps us exist and enjoy a colour rich palette of experiences through the help of receptor cells. Some experiences are certain, others are not. They shape our lives. What’s waiting out there?"

The diplomas can now be seen at www.nobelprize.org

My mother Marianne Wallgren and myself were invited to the Grand Nobel reception at the Stockholm Nordic Museum on the 9th of December, where I got the pleasure of meeting the two laureaths.

A great experience!

The Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2012 was awarded to Robert J Lefkowitz, USA and Brian K. Koblika, USA,

for their studies of G- protein- coupled receptor.

Nobel diploma for Physics.

It has been an amazing advenure and experience to be able to take part in the Nobel festivities in Stockholm, last December.

My eldest grandchild Robin and I went to the Nobel reception at the Nordic museum on the evening of the 9th of December.

The following night my daughter Stephanie and I attended the Nobel Prize ceremony at Stockholm Concert Hall followed by the Nobel Banquet at the City Hall. It was a wonderful experience!

It was a fantastic experience to be present at the Nobel Prize Party, on the 10 th of December in Stockholm.

The recipients of the diplomas which I have created for this years Nobel prize-giving ceremony are Francois Englert and Peter W. Higgs. They share the prize for “the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider”

I will attend the Nobel reception at the Nordic Museum on the 9thof December where I will be accompanied by my grandson Robin, who will soon celebrate his 13thbirthday. The Nobel laureates and their families will also be in attendance.

The following day my daughter Stephanie and I will attend the Nobel prize-giving ceremony in the Concert Hall followed by the Nobel Banquet at City Hall at 4.30 pm and 7 pm respectively.

The Nobel Prize for Physics 2013 was awarded to Professor Peter W. Higgs, Great Britain and Professor Francois Englert, Belgium, for their theoretical work that led to the eventual discovery of the Higgs boson.

The Royal Academy of Sciences statement:

“For the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider"

The two diplomas I have created this year are ultramarine blue inspired compositions that complement the blue goatskin leather in which they are bound by bookbinder Ingemar Dackeus, Stockholm.

On the 8thof December I depart for Stockholm where I will attend the Nobel reception at the Nordic Museum on the 9thof December followed by the Nobel Prize- giving ceremony in the Concert Hall and Nobel Banquet at Stockholm City Hall on the 10thof December.

Alfred Nobel considered Physics as the foremost of the sciences, so this year having had the chance to create the Nobel diploma for the Physics prize allowed me the honour of being invited to the Nobel Banquet by the Nobel Foundation.

I was happily joined on these two occasions by my eldest grandchild Robin Jardeback Brinck, 12 years of age ( The Nobel reception, 9thof Dec. ) and my daughter Stephanie Jardeback ( Nobel Prize- giving ceremony and Nobel Banquet, 10thof Dec.)

The personal the personal text I wrote, accomanying the diploma to the winners was:

"To try to understand the Higgs boson particles' life and existancy is itself a great achievement. To find it is even bigger, well worth a Nobel Prize! For me as an artist, the real boson is converted into a fantasy of ultra marine blue where the Mexican hat silhouette createsmountains and valleys that are reproduced against an atmospheric sky"
