Ernst Josephson (April 16, 1851 - 1906) was an ambitious Swedish artist and poet. He famously declared his intention to become the “Swedish Rembrandt”, or die trying.

After graduating from the Royal Swedish Academy he traveled through Europe copying the masters and plying his trade. He acquired syphilis along the way and gradually became mentally afflicted as the disease progressed. He was committed in 1888 to a mental hospital in Uppsala, and afterwards lived confined under care in Stockholm.

O Neck 

“É verdade que sempre ouvi dizer que é um músico afamado, mas que se pode esperar de um ente que fica sempre tranquilo no seu regato, sem ouvir nunca nada de novo?”

Selma Lagerlöf, O Violinista in “O Livro das Lendas”; o Neck (Näcken) pintado por Ernst Josephson.

Ernst Josephson - Portrait of Carl Skånberg - 1880

Ernst Abraham Josephson (1851-1906) was a Swedish painter and poet. He specialized in portraits, genre scenes of folklife and folklore.

Carl Emmerik Skånberg (12 June 1850 - 24 January 1883) was a Swedish painter. Despite a serious illness that caused him a great deal of suffering, he was a prolific painter and one of the first artists in Sweden to be influenced by Impressionism.

What are you currently trying to improve?

it's a neverending quest to get used to drawing the sort of backgrounds i want but always figured i wasn't skilled enough to draw....!

How has your art changed over the years?

i think it's gotten more sharp and high contrast, more confident?

How do you deal with artblock?

usually i just force myself to try and draw something anyway, anything i'm usually interested in.....i do studies if i'm totally out of ideas and even if nothing looks good i try to produce something to get out of that block
