The Mårbacka Foundation motivation behind the award: Lars Lerin, like Selma Lagerlöf, has a very special ability to portray both the dark and light sides of life.
Human shortcomings are forgiven, and rays of empathy break through heavy thoughts and dark fog banks. Nature’s vigor and populated landscapes are illuminated by love and everyday work.
– I feel so happy in the heart of the award, says Lars Lerin in a press release.
Lars Lerin is an artist born in Munkfors who has recently appeared in television programs such as Lerin’s Apprentices.
