This is a list of merits, a so called curriculum vitae, "course of life".
But that it should be something so filled with information as a "course of life" borders to a lie since it only picks up small, tiny fragments of my experiences. (It omits my experiences as a jeep driving newspaper deliverer and my career as a wooden toy designer, it doesn't mention the cast iron garlands I made for some antique lamp posts either. Nothing about Abashera or any other of my technical skills. Nothing about all that neo-gothic furniture. My travels? No. And absolutely not a word about that I once was quite close to compete in the Swedish version of "The Gladiators".)
No, a list of merits' primary function is not to draw a accurate picture of the person in question, but to see to that a person which hasn't yet made a particular experience shouldn't easily be given the chance of making it. |

 Exhibition in Trollhättans Konsthall 2008.
"The artist Max Magnus Norman was born on July 30th, 1973. He has participated in about 50 art exhibitions so far. He has also worked as a photographer, art teacher, illustrator and journalist. The artistic education consists of amongst other the "Estetiskt-praktiska linjen" at Katrinelundsskolan in Sundsvall and the Liberal Art School (Fria Målarskolan) in Halmstad with Olle Waller as main art teacher.Max Magnus Norman's Internet site with its about 5 000 daily visitors is one of Sweden's most visited art sites. What Max Magnus Norman paints is his visions; such kind of images which might appear in the mind during meditation or in dreams. He depicts these visions as accurate as possible with the result that the vision becomes a prophecy of the forthcoming painting. The symbols in the paintings are quite without references; a dinosaur could be an angel and everything which looks human is hardly human. The meaning of the paintings is not always clear, but there is always a meaning which slowly surfaces - you never see the same painting twice."
