He was born in Stockholm, the son of painter Carl Johan Sjöstrand, and studied under Herman Wilhelm Bissen in Copenhagen. Although Swedish, Sjöstrand is considered the founder of Finnish sculpture because of his role as a promoter of Finnish public sculpture in the 1850s and 60s, and his interpretations of Finnish themes. Among his students was the Finnish sculptor Walter Runeberg. He lived in Finland from 1863 till 1904. He is buried in the Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki.
