Finnish painter Ida Vikfors allows to find solid ground by exploring shapes and shadow

Ida Vikfors, a Finnish artist currently living in Sweden, has been fascinated by different materials, textures and structures for as long as she can remember. With her background as a pattern designer and artisan in textiles, she has always had an eye for detail and sophistication. Her creations grasp a minimalist expression with a focus on creating different dimensions, allowing us to explore shapes and shadows that change over time depending on the light. Her work appears tactile and almost a bit fragile, though it is a rough and long-lasting surface.

This series of artworks is an expression of her experiences with her own mind, where she creates a space for spectators to find solid ground, as we all need a place to feel safe and to find stillness. Sculptural lines in her works create a surface and depth that changes depending on the incidence of light, resulting in simple pieces that bring a level of curiosity and complexity.
