Per-Inge Isheden was born in a small countryside town in the middle of Sweden. He started painting while still a child, inspired by his mother who was an amateur artist.He studied at the Konstfackskolan in Stockholm 1957-61.
After working 13 years as an art teacher, 1961-74, he started his career as a professional artist by creating a science fiction cartoon for adults.
As a professional artist he has regularly showed his works at galleries and art fairs in Stockholm and other places in Sweden, in Berlin, Copenhagen and London. 2018 he will exhibit in Vienna.
In recent years he has become increasingly well-known, especially on the internet and in Stockholm where he finds many of his motives. He has been described as a "romantic with his feet firmly on the pavement". Admirers of his art have noted his preference of winter and bad weather motives, dusk moods with a mixture of disappearing daylight and neon light effects. They also comment on the sensuality of his nudes and the stunning effect of his unorthodox portraits of August Strindberg and old time super stars such as John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe and Jimi Hendrix.
