Erland Cullberg studerade vid Konstakademien 1955-1957, och Valands konstskola 1956. Han målar starkt expressionistiska skildringar i starka oljefärger och med våldsamma penseldrag. Motiven har ofta starkt psykologiskt djup. Hans egenhet att ibland måla över samma tavla flera gånger har gett honom namnet ”Övermålaren”.
