Yrjö Edelmann is a Swedish artist best known for his trompe l'oeil paintings of quickly-wrapped packages, which he renders with precise detail and illusionistic depth. His work explores perception and surface, and is represented in major institutions including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Swedish National Art Council.
