Interview with FRANK BJORKLUND:

Your childhood ambition:

Architect. I’ve always been interested in constructions. My favorite building is Fred and Ginger, Prague. I’ve built and designed more than 15 houses during the years.

Something you treasure:

A little invention of man called TIME.

Your worst habit:

To misplace glasses. (I need them when I paint details.)

The aspect of your work that’s most important to you:

Every picture should tell a story (in general for all). Political, environmental, existential, and so on. But I’m not so interested in the answers. I like the questions, why, where, time?

Your first job:

Driving a forklift on an industrial site.

Someone whose work you highly recommend:

Ola Billgren, (1940-2001) Swedish painter, photorealism.
