As the son of a fishmonger, Hållander was a self-taught artist who received a scholarship from Örnsköldsvik’s art association in 1950. This opportunity allowed him to travel and study in Paris, Madrid, and Lisbon, shaping his unique artistic style. Specializing in still lifes, portraits, and landscapes, Hållander’s work is proudly represented at the National Museet and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
