Wilgot Olsson (1906–1990) was a Swedish painter known for his landscapes, coastal scenes and depictions of everyday life. Born in Sweden, he trained locally and developed a style characterised by a harmonious palette and careful attention to light and atmosphere.
Olsson often painted the Swedish countryside and coastal regions, capturing seasonal changes and the character of rural life with a calm, painterly approach. His work was exhibited in Sweden during his lifetime and continues to be sought after for its decorative appeal and evocative Nordic charm.
