Lovisa Axén b. 1996
Based in Stockholm, Sweden
Works in Textile, Paintings and Sculptures
Lovisa Axén är uppväxt i västmanlands län och tog sin kandidatexamen på Konstfack i Stockholm 2021. Hennes konstnärliga praktik startar oftast i måleriet som sedan vidareutvecklas genom skulptur i både hårda och mjuka material. Man kan säga att Lovisa via konsten materialiserar och fokuserar på nutida dilemman med en estetik av mycket färg och till synes söta figurer.
English version:
