Markus Åkesson

Markus Åkesson

Markus Åkesson (b.1975) is highly regarded for his skill in realistic figurative painting. The studio in Nybro is surrounded by the forest with its inexhaustible source of inspiration. Markus Åkesson's art explores the worlds that open up when humans connect with nature and, above all, what lies behind the scenes. In recent years, he has become particularly famous for his imaginative portraits of people completely covered in patterned fabric against a background of the same fabric. Largely self-taught, Markus Åkesson has established himself internationally with several major exhibitions, primarily in France, bl.a Galerie Da-End in Paris. His work can be found in several famous international collections, both private and public.
