This is the story of a boy who found his refuge in color—and who grew up to become one of the most promising watercolor artists of our time. When anxiety crept in, Maxi Svensson discovered a sense of calm through painting.
We are invited into his world: from his first tentative brushstrokes, through his encounter with his role model Lars Lerin and his early exhibitions, to the present day, where he studies at one of Europe’s most prestigious art schools in Florence, Italy.
The narrative is interwoven with a selection of Maxi’s 100 most beloved watercolors—ranging from soulful landscapes to bursts of floral color and portraits filled with tension and presence.
This is more than a book about art. It is a story of courage, perseverance, and the dream of becoming who you truly are. A book to lose yourself in—and to draw strength from - publisher max ström
