Magnus Gustavsson

Magnus Gustavsson works almost exclusively with traditional oil painting on canvas or panel. In the tension between the traditional and the modern, his art handles existential themes. They deal with our place in a confusing time, how we are influenced by the outside world and how we in our turn influence it.

​

He is represented by the internet gallery Artely.se. There you can buy available work or order high quality fine art prints of most of my paintings.
