About Erik

__

Artist in Sweden

Erik is an artist and illustrator who works in Stockholm. He is known for his dog portraits and has, among other things, received a lot of attention in the media for these. He paints portraits to order and has customers in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England, Italy, Austria, France, Spain and the USA. For 15 years, the dog and its expression have particularly fascinated him. His own Italian greyhound Fari is a constant companion and great inspiration for his work.

His solid and broad education has given him experience in many creative industries. In addition to working with his own free art, he has worked as a fashion and advertising designer, set painter in the theater and stylist in the interior design industry.
