Sandra Gustavsson was born 1961 in Edmonton, Canada but has been living and working in Sweden since 1992. An interest in art and creativity in general has always been a part of her life, but over the past 25 years it has become increasingly prominent. She has studied art and design and participated in several watercolor courses but admits that the most important thing about art and creativity was to seek out her own voice as an artist and just paint. With a diploma in art therapy the artist has a special interest in the synergy between how our senses engage when interacting with textural, colourful and fanciful abstract and figurative art. She has been involved in the local art exhibition during the Easter weekend organizing local artists since 2017. As well as her collaboration with a local gallery she has participated in several local cultural events and art exhibitions in Sweden and in October 2024 participated in her first pop-up exhibition in Amsterdam, Holland. She will be participating in several pop-up exhibitions in Egypt, Dubai, France, Holland, USA and Canada throughout 2025. Artist Statement “My artistry is about expressing energy through texture, form, and color. My painting pursuit moves between emotion, perception, and reflection, as I explore how structure meets spontaneity and control transforms into expressionism. It is the qualities of the material and the properties of the paint which dictates the direction of my process. Where the synergy between color, painting style, the characteristics of the paint, and the texture of the surface create a unique semi-abstract visual language. A type of landscape where the painting style itself is as much about the process of painting as it is about our perception of a landscape—its construction and proportions. My painting is about capturing a state between emotion and reflection.”
