Stella Im Hultberg



It's Stella Im Hultberg and I choose these artist as influence because it's neat and simple. The early stages are abstract and vague and the work then develops organically as she paint. There’s no specific concept but a blurry idea she try to clarify as each layer of paint is built up. An underlying unifying theme of identities and duality seems to permeate much of my work. Identity as a human being, the frail and the strong; identity as an individual; identity in relation to others or the environment; and even dual, overlapped, confused identities.

She said "The figures (women) in my paintings are a vessel through which I can connect with the world. The unseen moments, the unspoken words, the indescribable emotions that permeate much of our lives… those are the elements I try to capture and represent through the figures in my work."
