Göran Sveningzon
Biography
Göran Sveningzon (signature GSZON) is an abstract painter, b. 1964 in Källeryd, Sweden. Based on Björkö in Bohuslän, Gothenburg.
His interest in the abstract was shaped during foundational art education in the 1980s, and has been further developed through theoretical university studies in art. Different cultural environments and art historical sites have also been crucial to his exploratory painting. In particular, studies of Byzantine mosaic art in Ravenna, Italy, have influenced his view of colors as raw building blocks of the image. This has been reformulated in his later painting, where color is increasingly integrated with massiveness and structure.
