Artistic Style and Influence
Cederberg's work is characterised by his Surrealist and Post-Impressionist influences. He often depicted everyday objects such as fruits—apples, pears, grapes—and conkers in his still life compositions. His use of surrealist elements created an unusual and dreamlike quality in his paintings. Cederberg's choice of subjects, combined with his distinctive style, has made his work increasingly popular among collectors and art enthusiasts. His paintings are appreciated for their stylish simplicity and the way they blend with mid-century modern and Scandinavian design trends.
