Jonas Fisch

Born and raised in a small fisherman’s village in southern Sweden, Jonas Fisch traded continents in 2002. He dwelled in LA for about two decades before moving to the East Coast.

Jonas has exhibited across California, in New York, Chicago, Boston, Phoenix, Miami, Switzerland, China and Hong Kong. His paintings can be found in private collections and institutions all over the globe.
