\nIf Scandinavia were a fantasy land where the world of dreams came to mingle with reality, H\u00e5kan\u2019s paintings would undoubtedly be a portal to said world. It is on a vast, wild and at the same time peaceful nature that the viewer is invited to lay his eyes. A place allowing you to rest, reflect upon and enjoy the calmness this Scandinavian atmosphere circulates. Each brushstroke depicting in a dreamlike way the richness and depth of the forests, fjords, lakes, fields and mountains which so well define his native country.<\/p>\n
Despite the uncontrollable nature of watercolor, the artist does not let himself be intimidated by it when expressing on large formats the immensity of the world surrounding the inhabitants of the Great North. A world that he depicts with inspiration from the changing seasons and the polar light that falls on the lake in front of his studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":568,"featured_media":5689,"template":"","taxo_year_participe":[19],"class_list":["post-5688","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
