Alexander Jansson is one of my favorite illustrators <\/strong>. Between fantastic atmospheres and dark and sinister colors, Jansson is inspired by the places of childhood. It was born in Uppsala, a Swedish city with the highest concentration of runestones <\/a> in Scandinavia. To better understand what may have influenced his visions, I took a tour with google maps, given the limitations of the current period, nothing else can be done. Wandering through the streets and the woods, I tried to find his own atmosphere, what can I say, now I understand what inspires him. The landscapes, the light, the colors, everything I saw made me want to visit Scandinavia in person.

Returning to Jansson's illustrations, they are suspended between tender and sinister, they seem to tell mysterious fairy tales <\/strong> that alternate circus themes, disturbing fairy tales, stories of strange nocturnal animals and ethereal girls. A perfect combination to attract the viewer's eye and let him get lost in its atmosphere.

Somehow some of his illustrations remind me of those of Hieronymus Bosch <\/a>. In some great illustrations, every little detail hides invisible worlds and sinister meanings. As for the Bosh boards, I love to get lost in the search for something hidden at the first quick glance. I recommend you do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not much is known about him, but it is possible to follow him on social media. On instagram <\/a> is defined like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Award winning artist and illustrator of strange stuff, cute stuff, dark stuff and silly stuff.”
“Artista e illustratore pluripremiato di cose strane, cose carine, cose oscure e cose stupide.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I recently purchased The Cabinet of Curiosities <\/a>, a four-handed book. The designs are made by Alexander Jansson <\/strong>, but only in black and white. Unfortunately, no volume has yet been translated into Italian, but we hope it will happen soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
