Benny Stigsson
Sweden
I am a professional watercolor artist based in Sweden, with over twenty years of dedicated experience in watercolor painting. My artistic development has largely been self-directed, complemented by advanced studies and international workshops.
I have participated in workshops led by distinguished artists such as Ron Ranson, Joseph Zbukvic, Alvaro Castagnet, David Taylor, and Björn Bernström.
Since 2004, I have held approximately forty solo exhibitions. In recent years, my work has also been represented in several juried exhibitions in Sweden and internationally.
In 2012, my painting Wet Road, New York was accepted into the juried Shanghai Zhujiajiao International Watercolor Biennial Exhibition in China. In 2013, three of my watercolors were selected for Liljevalchs Vårsalong in Stockholm.
Furthermore, two of my works were selected among the 200 best watercolors worldwide for International Watercolour Masters in 2024 and 2026. In 2025 and 2026, I also had a watercolor accepted for Fabriano in Acquarello in Italy, a distinction that represents significant international recognition.
