Andreas Englund

Andreas Englund was born in Falun in 1974, Sweden. Based in Stockholm, he is mostly recognised for the photo realistic and humoristic oil paintings
depicting the everyday life of an anonymous superhero. The series ranges from the superhero’s first mission as a toddler to being an old man, still struggling with everyday trivialities.

Other themes include horses and muscle cars. The horses are painted as dalecarlia horses, a famous symbol from the Swedish region of Dalecarlia, where Andreas was born.

"Humour can be the carrier of messages that are
otherwise hard to convey.
For me, it liberates my thoughts and ideas from
pretentiousness while at the same time it opens
doors to new routes and angles."
