Cassander André Straumsgaard works in the classical painting tradition and was early interested in Odd Nerdrum, Caravaggio and Eugène Carrière, which led him to apply for a traditional classical figurative education at the Florence Academy of Art in 2008. After completing his studies in Gothenburg, Straumsgaard began at Nerdrum School in 2012 with a desire to learn more from his role model Odd Nerdrum.
