GSZON
Göran Sveningzon (signature GSZON). Born in 1964 in Källeryd parish, Sweden.
Göran Sveningzon's intuitive painting is characterized by dynamic contrasts between randomness and composition.
During his studies at preparatory art schools in the 80s, he held exhibitions with a clear abstract orientation. Historical influences have also affected his painting, in particular the color aesthetics of Ravenna's Byzantine art, evident in his public decorations during the 90s.
After several years in the graphic industry, he has resumed his art studies at university and also started working with digital music. In 2017 he created the instrumental concept "Lyrotron" for streaming on common platforms.
He received a bachelor's degree in Art and Visual Studies in 2020 and became member of KRO (The Artists' Association of Sweden) in 2022.
