The signature is on the bottom right and difficult to read. I have looked everywhere on the web trying to match this style of art to another, but could not find any similar. Maybe you can help me identify the artist and his nationality. I took photos of the back of the canvas, not sure that Fredrik is still making these types of stretched canvas and may help date the work. Also the keys for stretching are plastic. The frame is cheap quality. I photographed 2 areas that look like beads haven't been applied or are missing, but there aren't beads missing from over the canvas. Maybe he wanted it this way or didn't finish the work.  I think (Being an artist too) that the image's design is very professional and definitely a lot of work. If you can give me the name of the artist and any information about him, and the date of the work, I would appreciate it. I love it and I got it for $10. Thanks you so much.[/QUOTE]
