Painter of Portraits,
Still Lifes & Landscapes
Urban Larsson is a traditional oil painter. As well as portraits, he paints still lives, landscapes and nudes. Striving for beauty and universal human values, he paints only from life and in a tradition that has evolved over more than five centuries - sight-size.
Urban has exhibited throughout Europe and in the United States to much acclaim.
His portrait commissions are prestigious, for example, in 2002 he was commissioned to paint the official portrait of the former Dutch Prime Minister, Wim Kok.
