Patrik Andiné
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrik Andiné (born 11 July 1968 in Gothenburg) is a Swedish painter. He was educated at the Royal Institute of Art in 1990–1995.[1] He has become known for his colourful oil paintings with mysterious and dreamlike scenes. He frequently aims to paint archetypical subjects drawn from the subconscious.[2] An important influence is fairy tales and their often serious undertones.[3] A recurring subject is scouting, which Andiné regards as a positive symbol for belonging, as well as something slightly uncomfortable, as the uniforms remind him of the Hitler Youth.[4]
Although sometimes labeled as such, he does not consider himself a surrealist.[2]
