I am Björn Wångblad, a self-taught artist with sixty years of experience—seventeen of them working full-time. This autumn, I have focused on a specific theme: the citizens, streets, and squares of Gothenburg. It captures both famous and lesser-known locations and people, offering glimpses of the dynamic theater of the streets—the scents and the sounds.

A visit to Vinga and historic Marstrand this past summer also inspired me to try my hand at depicting those places. My choice of subjects is highly varied, as are the techniques I employ. Sometimes the work is entirely or partially digital—a modern form of monotype—while at other times I use traditional watercolor painting or a blend of the two.

The images on this particular page are usually drawn on my mobile phone screen. It is convenient to have the tools available while on the go, and it saves me from having to carry paper, pens, and paints. I never use AI in the creation of my images.
