For the last 10 years he has lived in Amsterdam. Urban Larsson is a traditional painter. His portraits show psychological insights and accurate characterisation. Larsson, born in 1966 in Stockholm, is a prolific painter who not only paints portraits, but also still lifes, landscapes and nudes. Through his working methods Larsson is directly linked to the great portrait painters and studios of the nineteenth century and he prepares his materials and paint using the time-tested techniques of previous centuries. His studio catches light from the north and is a much-frequented spot for people looking for classical but non-photographic portraiture.
