Viktor Mattsson

He tells stories using traditional characters and metaphors such as devils, angels, snakes, cowboys and clowns. There are recurring topics addressing the struggle between good and evil and the characters often find themselves in some kind of internal or external turmoil.

The setting for Tools For The Future centres on fighting the devil. Each painting depicts the eternal struggle between good and evil from the perspective of a man who must deal with the devil in different situations.
