Blommér was a nature mystic and influenced by the trends of his time. The neo-romanticists Geijer , Atterbom and Stagnelius had a great influence on Blommér's work. For this reason he painted several panels on the subject of elves , for example meadow elves from 1850. Blommér was also inspired by the Austrian painter Moritz von Schwind and his motifs from popular belief . Blommér was convinced that nature has a soul that shows itself in the legendary figures.
