Alexander Klingspor (born 1977 in Stockholm) is a contemporary Swedish painter and sculptor who has worked in Sweden, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Overview Klingspor left Sweden for the United States and was apprenticed to the American illustrator and painter Mark English in Kansas City, Missouri. He then returned to Stockholm in Sweden and joined the workshop of Magnus Bratt, a copyist artist for the National Museum of Sweden, who specializes in 16th-century oil paintings.
