Johannes Nielsen was born in 1979 in Falkenberg, Sweden. He began his formal artistic education at Lund Art School in 2001, before moving to Dublin in 2003, where he worked as an assistant to acclaimed sculptor Patrick O’Reilly. During this period, he developed and refined the technical and artistic foundations of his sculptural practice.

Nielsen’s work has since been exhibited at art fairs and exhibitions across Europe, the United States, and Asia. His sculptures are held in both public and private collections in cities including Stockholm, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Hollywood, New York, and Montreal. His recent commissioned projects include artworks created for Tetra Pak, a private collector in Italy, and a private garden in New York.

Since 2007, Nielsen has been based in Beijing, China, where he lives with his wife and two children. Working primarily in bronze, his sculptures explore the human form through themes of movement, stillness, connection, and inner experience.
