About
My name is Alexander Samuelsson , born in Visby 1989.
I now live in Simrishamn, Sweden. My family moved here from Stockholm in 2022. Here, I have become deeply rooted in birds and landscapes. It feels as if nature has taken me to its heart. With my painting background, I want to highlight wildlife and give it the same value as human portraits.
Every bird and landscape has its own story. With my brush I study and immerse myself in these surroundings to connect and capture that in my paintings.
I am deeply fascinated by nature and animals. What interests me is telling a story about the places I create.
