Edit Sihlberg’s artistic process sets out from a desire to use painting to express a mood and explore an interior pictorial world. The artist is looking for a presence where intuition is welcome and her point of departure is frequently a still life. She claims that the “muteness” of objects is dissolved, giving rise to a different world, which is reminiscent of our own.
Born in 1989, Edit Sihlberg holds an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, where she lives and works.
