Elina Eriksson

Elina Eriksson is a Stockholm based artist primarily working with the medium of painting. Her stylings exist in the space between intuitive abstraction and descriptive familiarity. Swift and supple strokes of prismatic colour flow across the surfaces, like driven forward by the wind or other elemental forces, assembling as invigorative visions of life itself. Eriksson approaches the world around her using art as a tool for interpretation, thus her motifs vary in accordance with setting and subject, but pervasive is a sensory and spiritual connectedness between the carnal, the natural and the ethereal. Eriksson’s paintings convey an esoteric ambiguity that correlates the flow of windswept nature with the veins spindling through our bodies, suggesting that there exists a common plane of understanding for all that is living.

Elina Eriksson (b. 1984, SE) lives and works in Stockholm. She received her BFA and MFA from The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Eriksson works with painting, installation and sculpture.
