Axel Torvenius is a Swedish artist who does a variety of works but I find his sculptures to be my favorite and most interesting.
He tends to work with a lot of dark and creepy images and ideas which I really love. The way he uses the unproportional bodies with long, thin limbs makes it feel more like a monster and something you should be scared of because it lacks normal human qualities. Even with the skull, it isn't a complete human skull which I find really interesting looking. I think this artist really understands creepy.
He also does a series of masks which are also creepy/gross.
The decayed look of the mask in combination with the teeth and openings really make you wonder about the idea of a mask. They almost look like a person wearing some kind of mask, instead of the entire piece being a mask. The craftsmanship also looks incredible and I really wish I could see one of these in person.
