Biography

Göran Sveningzon (signature GSZON) is a Swedish abstract painter, based on Björkö in Bohuslän, Gothenburg.

His interest in the abstract was early shaped during the foundational art education years and has been further developed through theoretical university studies. Cultural environments and art historical sites have also been crucial for his exploratory painting, for example the color spectrum of Byzantine mosaic art.The work with color as the building block of the image has later been reformulated in his work, where color as mass integrates with gestural and displaced structures.
