During his upbringing he spent a lot of time with his father in the woods and fields where he got the love for the nature and its animals. The father, who was interested in hunting, was also acquainted with Bruno Liljefors, at the time one of Swedens most prominent painters, an artist whom he greatly admired, especially for his depiction of wild animals in nature.

From 1944 until his death in 1970, he lived on his farm in Värmland, where he kept a small nordic wildlife preserve. He is above all known for animal sculptures and animal drawings. As an animal painter, he was a realist and an impressionist.
