Anders Kumlien, född 1972, har arbetat som konstnär och formgivare sedan 1992. Min debut i officiella sammanhang skedde september 2005 på Artilleri 2.

Jag studerade kroki under åren 2000-2002 för Bo Pettersson och Madelaine Alewall, och har gått kurser i oljemåleri för Katarina Ekstrand, Richard Griffith Carlsson och modellmåleri för Gunilla Gertzén.

Från 1997 fram till hans bortgång gick jag som lärling hos min onkel, skärgårdsmålaren Bertil Kumlien.

Anders Kumlien, born in 1972, works with the visual form of expression. To enrich his own experience, he served as apprenticeship to his uncle, Bertil Kumlien, a well-known archipelago artist. Anders is trained in painting and croquis. He has lived by his art and design since 1992, and had his first public exhibition in 2005.

The Kumlien clan is scattered with artists and designers. At each point in time since the early 1800, several members of Anders Kumlien’s family has been among the country’s most renowned artists, allowing for Anders to grow up surrounded by art and early on encouraged to explore his own creativity through different modes of expression. This provided Anders with a close relationship to art, which naturally influenced his approach. Famous names from the artistic Kumlien clan include Axel Kumlien (1833–1913), Stockholm architect, Anders' great-grandfather Akke Kumlien (1884 1949), graphic artist and oil painter, and Bertil Kumlien (1919–2012). He has also drawn influence from his grandmother's father, artist Ewald Dahlskog (1894–1950).
