Biography
Kicki Edgren, born in 1972 and living in Gothenburg, Sweden, has been painting, drawing and writing for as long as she can remember. Since his first art exhibition at the age of 15 he has had around 25 solo exhibitions in Sweden, and recently his paintings have been exhibited in galleries in Europe: Monaco, Spain and Italy. Kicki Edgren attended several artistic training courses, including a master's degree at HDK-Valand – Academy of Art and Design, University of Gothenburg. However, he believes that the best art education is life itself, the lifelong interest in looking and analyzing how other things really look, and the curiosity of what happens when you create your own interpretations and visualizations.
He draws inspiration from human emotions and situations expressed in bodies and faces, as well as patterns, abstract art and street art. The soft, sweet and perfect does not interest her, but instead uses vibrant colors, rough lines and dynamic contrasts to exaggerate expressions. Always experiment with the encounter between three-dimensionality and flat surfaces.
In addition to her artistic talent, she is also an award-winning designer for her graphic design, pattern design, and product design. Her creative soul stands out not least through her three-dimensional wallpaper Off the Wall, which was exhibited in many places, including the Design Museum in Barcelona, at the same time as the publication of her self-written book in Sweden.
