Meet Henrik Stigell

Henrik Stigell is a Swedish painter whose work explores the emotional and atmospheric qualities of landscapes and interior spaces.

His paintings operate at the intersection of abstraction and representation, distinguished by layered surfaces, muted Nordic color palettes, and a restrained, contemplative visual language.

Working through a slow, process-driven approach, Stigell allows time, material, and gesture to shape each composition, often leaving traces of earlier layers visible.

His practice reflects an interest in how environments are experienced over time rather than depicted literally. He lives and works in Sweden, exhibiting selectively in independent art spaces, with works held in private collections.
