Mats Bergquist likes to work in seclusion. Born in 1960 into a Swedish family of diplomats, he grew up and lived in different countries, among them Russia. He now lives and works both in Bassano del Grappa, north of Vicenza, Italy and Nyköping, southwest of Stockholm, Sweden. Both the meditative, contemplate work as well as the openness and the interest in cultural aspects of his homelands are evident in his art. Life and work, experience and artistic expression have to be coherent to be able to let the art emit honesty that an observer can perceive, says Bergquist.
