Artist Focus


Sven

Artist Sven paints in his modest studio by the Maumee River, where he finds an endless source of creative inspiration. “Maumee is a true beauty of northwest Ohio,” he says. “She’s crucial to my paintings—her light is essential and her essence eternal!” Sven has sketched, drawn and doodled since his earliest days.

Following his father’s warning not to “starve to chase ideals,” he pursued more “practical” degrees, but continued to create art through all of life’s twists and turns. Eventually, those twists and turns worked their way into his paintings. “I try to have five corners to my works: spiritual, meaningful, beautiful, natural and universal,” Sven says. “That pentagram deep down is in all beings.” Sven’s application of oil and his innovative techniques lend a distinctive three-dimensional aesthetic to his works. For this reason, the paintings come fully framed with conservation-grade glass.
