tefan Blöndal was born 1964 in Copenhagen.

      Being a prize-winner at age 14 in a drawing competition organised by one of the major Danish newspapers, Stefan Blöndal began his artistic studies the same year, creating pencil, ink, and charcoal drawings at the drawing class of the famous art museum the New Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen. Alongside, he received some basic instruction in the technique of oil painting by the painter Henrik Bloch.
At this early age, he travelled and did his own observations of the old masters work at some of the worlds best art museums such as the Prado in Madrid and the National Gallery in London.
During one of these trips Stefan Blöndal paid a personal visit to Salvador Dali on his 80th Birthday, May 11. 1984 at the medieval castle Púbol in Catalonia, where he presented Dali a cane as a gift, which he had made out of bronze, ebony, ivory, gold, pearls and a ruby. The handle was formed as a female centaur holding a royal orb and sceptre. The object was shown on Spanish television (see picture).

     His future wife, the famous Russian pianist from Moscow, Nina Kavtaradze, Stefan Blöndal met when he was 20 years old. After looking at his drawings, she advised him to paint in oils, as his drawing style would ideally suit this type of fine art, and paint would open up a whole new world.

     The first public show of Stefan Blöndal´s paintings was held in 1987 at the renowned exhibition hall "Den Frie", (The Independent) in Copenhagen, where he exhibited as "guest artist" with the Scandinavian artists group "Den Nordiske" (The Nordic). With the same group he also exhibited at the Charlottenburg Castle in Berlin. Since then, he has exhibited extensively with solo exhibitions in most European countries. One of the more notable were in 1997 at the gallery Maison de l'Amerique Latine in Monte-Carlo, Monaco, which brought attention across the entire French Riviera and even to the Royal Palace (see details).

     He has also been invited to participate at international competitions, where he in France was awarded several times with prizes and medals (see list below). 
Stefan Blöndal has been represented by fine art galleries in London, Hamburg and Copenhagen. His paintings are present at private art collections in France, England, Germany, Austria, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Russia and the USA.

     In the words of art critic Alexandra Anderson: "This Danish artist has resolutely - and consistently - rejected the theoretical conventions of much contemporary art. He has, as they say, marched to his own drummer".
