About Me

Christina Olivecrona

Master of Fine Arts

"What I try to create in my paintings exists in the borderlands. Between the external and internal reality, between the dream and the concrete. It reflects a continuous dialogue between the past and the present, capturing the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, and how nature in turn relates to the human."
