Anders Widjedal has spent his life as an Artist exploring, challenging, educating and creating art. His Scandinavian formative years were filled with black & white photography, painting, stage design, sculpture, mixed media culminating with a degree in Fine Art and Education from Konstfack University in Stockholm Sweden. Anders collection of work can be found in Sweden, and Canada.
Anders immigrated in 1992 to Canada where he began teaching high school art and holding exhibitions in a wide variety of subject matters, self-portraits, landscape, and architectural interpretations using old century and various modern structural designs. During one period his focus was spent on murals: some with interactive components.
For almost thirty years his home has been Lindsay where he has been actively involved in the Arts scene, having worked in a private gallery, running programs for youth while regularly exhibiting alongside his teaching. Anders has also frequently organized student exhibits in Lindsay, Peterborough, and exchanges with Sweden and is a founding member of the Kawartha Arts Network.
Anders first love, photography has been part of a transitional experience from the classic to the digital. Today he works merging digital drawing and photography creating mixed media works. Anders often works through several mediums and techniques until he finds the expression that matches his current visual idea.

The idea behind the imagery is the tradition of folklore and mythical beings that we learned about in our childhood. The experience of being alone in a forest where every new sound or movement can be interpreted as something living. There is an element of surrealism and the unexpected tricks the mind plays on you in the imagery. It is a continuation of my digital exploration.
