Nutopia

Lars Berg has been on his artistic journey since 1972 when at the age of 21 he moved to Stockholm to attend an art school where he could explore a multitude of techniques and disciplines, focusing primarily on his interests in renaissance, surrealistic and modern abstract art. After five additional years at Konstfack, the University of Arts, Crafts and Design, he explored various artistic paths but found himself unsatisfied despite widespread exhibitions and commissioned work in public spaces. In his quest for authentic expression, he experienced a personal crisis that prompted a deeper exploration of his identity and a greater understanding of the human experience. Through his journey into psychotherapy, Lars discovered that training as a therapist would allow him to delve into universal existential themes, which led him to pursue a parallel career as a Gestalt therapist. Now, after more than 50 years as an artist and 40 years as a therapist, his work has transformed into drawings, sculptures, and paintings that convey existential dilemmas and enigmatic narratives, all infused with a vibrant sense of playfulness. Primarily exhibiting in galleries and museums across Sweden, he is now eager to share his art with international audiences.
