Carl Engstad
Born 1950 in Värmland. Lived in Gothenburg and outside Arvika on the old family farm Trotakan. Piano teacher, church musician and full-time or part-time as a professional artist. Debut exhibition 1969 at Björngårdsvillan in Gothenburg and then about 37 exhibitions around Sweden and abroad. Autidact but took private lessons with 2 Gothenburg artists in the 1960s.
Classical music is interwoven with my innermost language, for expression even in painting. The realistic theme opens up an infinity of variations, where richness of detail and brilliance in the presentation is sought - as far as possible.
And
Running business in hotels, restaurants and tourism where all the years have shown both others' and my own art. Contacts with artists who have meant a lot both in terms of conversations, workshops, course activities, etc. to hone technology and open doors. Founded Carlstad Art Gallery and ran it together with container friends in Gallerian Duvan in central Karlstad 2020.
