About
My name is Alexander Samuelsson , born in Visby 1989.
I now live in Simrishamn, Sweden. My family moved here from Stockholm in 2022. I have been interested in birds sense visiting Parc des Oiseaux in Villars-les-Dombes when I was 13.
But it was 2021 when I bought my first 200mm zoom lens and learned that all seabirds are not ducks. I’m interested in exploring landscapes and the animals that live there.
Every bird and landscape has its own story to tell, with my brush I study and immerse myself in these stories to connect and capture that in my paintings.
If you are interested in buying any of my paintings that are available please fill in the form under contact.
