Career
Lundvall has a Bachelor of Arts in studio art with a minor in literature from the American University in Washington District of Columbia (1991). His oil paintings are quite vivid and luminous due to his use of vibrant colors and the strong tension created between light and shadow. Lundvall"s imagery is mostly inspired by rural northeastern American landscapes which he inhabits with imaginative figures and isolated individuals.
His canvases often depict serene environments with an underlying sense of menace.
