Glass bottles and vases against a wallpaper of dull colours. In the background, a watchful figure. A world of its own, with everyday objects, immortalised in an oil painting, entitled Vakande (Keeping watch).
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.
