Said about Per Svensson:

"Alchemy reappears as a movement and mental image with Per Svensson. VITRIOL (Visit the Earth's inner and trough purification you should find the secret stone). A spiritual, artistic, metamorphosis in other words"
"Per Svensson is one of the leading visual and sound artists from Sweden"/ Thomas Millroth, Art critic, Art Historian

"Per Svensson's paintings stand in a tradition of political painting but with a kick-ass attitude that often is absent in art" / Håkan Nilsson, Art critic, DN

"Per Svensson's space capsule is a molecule constructed from life´s own atom, carbon, wich encapsulate a tiny living space, a biosphere" /Ingrid Sandahl, Professor of Space Physics, IRF, Kiruna

"...As with the contemporary artist Olafur Eliasson, he investigates the forces of nature, it is a kind of scientific research but from a humanistic perspective"/ Yrr Jonasdottir, Director of Ystad Art Museum.
