Little known outside Sweden, his delicate marble nudes have received critical acclaim. Hasselberg grew up in Blekinge, but moved to Paris as a young man, where he studied under Francois Jouffroys. His first notable work was a sculpture titled "Snöklockan", which depicted a girl playing with a frog.
