Olle Jonsson


					Olle JonssonSculptor and painter It would take more than 40 years for Olle Jonsson to fully develop his artistic potential. He was born and raised in the Swedish province of Hälsingland, a region of forests, mountains and valleys where most people made their living from small-scale farming and forestry. From an early age, Olle understood that he, too, was expected to follow this path. So he did, becoming a farmer at the age of 25. After turning 40, however, he felt the need to look for new challenges, for a new direction in life. He decided to study art.
