STREETS, BLOCKS & NEIGHBORHOOD #1 Painting

Björn Sjögren, abstract IMPRESSIONIST/EXPRESSIONIST, SWEDISH - AMERICAN - MEXICAN Björn Sjögren's approach to art is deeply rooted in his life experiences and inner emotions, expressed through a unique blend of abstract impressionism and expressionism. The fusion of his Scandinavian design sensibility adds a layer of simplicity to his work, creating pieces that have meaning and soul. A distinctive aspect of Sjögren's artistic process is the integration of titles beneath the images, encouraging interaction between words and design that stimulates the viewer's brain to produce the desired image. This interaction between visual elements and verbal elements contributes to the depth and complexity of his artwork. Sjögren emphasizes that his creative journey spans a lifetime, with each piece serving as a temporal document that reflects his current place in life. His refusal to adhere to traditional art education or study the works of other artists underlines the originality of his approach. Despite comments pointing to similarities with long-lost masters, Sjögren claims that his Artistic evolution has been a self-directed, organic process shaped by personal experiences rather than formal study. With 40 years of painting experience, Sjögren's work has attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic. His pieces have been exhibited in several galleries, including Galleri Final and Galleri Stallet in Sweden, Adieb Khadoure Gallery in Santa Fe, Ward-Nasse Gallery in New York, Daycholah Gallery in Wisconsin and several others in locations such as Chicago, San Antonio, San Miguel de Allende, and Mexico City. Interestingly, Sjögren describes each piece as original, very similar to his life, never succumbing to monotony. His commitment to the authenticity and continuous evolution of his artistic expression is evident in the dynamic and diverse range of works he has produced over the years.
