Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Short Bio:

The glossy world of Manga, pop-culture and the Japanese blurrings of high and low art – all these influence Swedish artist Niklas Holm. Born in 1979, with a Masters in Fine Art from the Royal Art Academy, Stockholm, Holm paints vivid, abstract acrylics, then uses them as the basis to create digital images, in an about-turn from most young artists working with computer imagery.
