"For Linnea Rygaard, the central perspective is key to the process of painting. Invented in the Early Renaissance, the central perspective was initially a method to create illusionary spaces in religious art. In Rygaard's large-scale paintings it contributes to an almost overwhelming experience."https://chgallery.se/artists/35-linnea-rygaard/

"Disconnect. Touch the ground, the earth, the stones. Feel pain and pleasure. Enjoy the banal and recover it. One foot in front of the other. Walking barefoot on the grass and finding again what unites us, what connects us with what we are, luckily still." @taquen July 6, 2022.

'”Stairmaster” 2,7 x 2,3m commissioned to motivate people to use the stairs at the head quarters of Vasakronan (a real estate company) in Stockholm. Painted in my studio on 3 MDF-pieces. Mounted at location on the 3rd floor.' @andreasenglundart May 22, 2018

"Technique-wise, I’m drawn to the old masters—Anders Zorn’s my guy, his bold grip on light and shadow. But for ideas, it’s Banksy’s sly, subversive edge, flipping power on its head, or David LaChapelle’s staged, over-the-top worlds that mix the raw and dazzling.... Life’s messy and funny; I just paint it that way." 2025 interview https://culturalee.art/culturalee-in-conversation-with-andreas-englund/
⠀⠀⠀
'What was the inspiration behind the Life of the Superhero series?
I have always been inspired by the human body which led me to the world of greek classic sculpture. From there the ”modern” greek hero – the superhero originated. In my case I wanted to portray the human aspects – not being perfect and the superhero became the natural symbol to dramatize these flaws – since he is suposed to be more or less ”perfect”.
...
He is based on me and my father. He then became more personal to me and through him I can portray my own shortcomings.'
