Biography
My name is Åke Johansson and I was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on February 22, 1959.
I am an self taught artist who up until now mainly have drawn pencil portraits.
I will take up oil painting as well. I will try to paint on paper, I have never tried that before, only on canvas.
It will be interesting to try it. And then I will chose other motives besides just portraits.
Some of the exhibitions I have taken part in.
