"I try to capture the raw beauty of human figures, blending figures with expressive, otherworldly touches."

Björn Andersson is a Swedish painter educated at Laguna College of Art and Design. He began his artistic journey by experimenting with various techniques and mediums, ultimately discovering his passion for creating a blend of abstract and figurative styles.

Drawing inspiration from the human form and his own personal experiences, Björn began exploring the art of nude figurative painting and portrait drawing, incorporating abstract elements and the raw energy of grungy elements to create a style that is both familiar and otherworldly. His work combines the spontaneity of expressionism with the precision of figurative painting, resulting in striking and emotive pieces that challenge conventional ideas of beauty and form.

Several famous individuals have modeled for Björn, including actor Erland Josephson, actor Rolf Lassgård, actor Michael Nyqvist, poet Kristina Lugn, and actor Morgan Alling. These portraits showcase Bjorn’s ability to capture the spirit of his subjects, while also pushing the boundaries of traditional portraiture through his blend of elements.

Today, Björn continues to challenge conventional ideas of art that explores the beauty and complexity of the human form and abstraction.
