Klingspor left Sweden for the United States and was apprenticed to the American illustrator and painter Mark English in Kansas City, Missouri.[2] He then returned to Stockholm in Sweden and joined the workshop of Magnus Bratt, a copyist artist for the National Museum of Sweden, who specializes in 16th-century oil paintings.
Klingspor has worked in Sweden and the United States, based in Stockholm and New York City.[1][3][4] His themes explore the unconscious mind[5] with a surreal quality.[2] Klingspor's exhibitions include:[2][3]
Klingspor has been represented by the Albemarle Gallery in London, England, and the A Gallery in Gothenborg, Sweden.[2] He has studios in New York City and at Stockholm's Royal Academy. Klingspor's works are held in the collections of Iris Cantor, Whoopi Goldberg, Salman Rushdie, and Stellan Skarsård. He is painted portraits of the economist Hans Tson Söderström and the CEO of Atlas Copco, Electrolux, and Ericsson, Michael Trescow.
In October 2023, a large version of the sculpture N.Y.C. Legend was installed in Union Square, Manhattan, New York City, unveiled by Queen Silvia of Sweden.[7][8]
