Tony Malmström is a contemporary Swedish painter working primarily in oils on canvas. His output, concentrated in the 2020s, shows a consistent focus on the coastal landscapes and beach culture of southern Skane: the bathers and beach huts of Skanör and Falsterbo, the medieval outline of Falsterbohus, lily ponds, and harbour scenes from Simrishamn and Nyhavn in Copenhagen. The work sits within a figurative and naturalistic tradition, painting observed places with directness and a light palette suited to the flat, luminous coastline of the Falsterbo peninsula.
Beyond local geography, Malmström's subjects extend to cultural portraiture. Among his recent works is a painting of David Bowie (2025) and a scene depicting Ernest Hemingway writing "The Old Man and the Sea" - suggesting an interest in capturing figures through their most characteristic settings rather than through formal portraiture. The range of subjects points to a painter comfortable moving between plein-air observation and imaginative reconstruction.
Malmström has a dedicated website at tonymalmstrom.com where he documents exhibitions and ongoing projects. His practice appears rooted in the Skane region, and the consistent output of new, dated canvases suggests he works with sustained discipline as a full-time painter.
All 19 of Malmström's auctioned works have appeared exclusively at Limhamns Auktionsbyrå in Malmö, making it the primary market venue for his paintings. Works have sold in the range of 300 to 1,700 SEK, with the top recorded price of 1,700 SEK going to "Falsterbohus" (2025). A painting of beach life in Skanör and a portrait of David Bowie each achieved 1,500 SEK. With 6 of his 19 catalogue works currently active at auction as of March 2026, his market is active and growing.
