Born to Scandinavian parents and raised amid the vibrant textiles and folk art of Sweden, Russia and China during the 1980s and 90s, the artist and photographer Lucia Engstrom has been immersed in a world of visual wonder from a young age. Drawing inspiration from her nomadic upbringing, her work embodies the cross-cultural connections that define her unique vision. Engstrom’s artistic journey has been profoundly influenced by her exposure to the captivating landscapes, intricate patterns, and rich cultural heritage of the places she has called home. Lucia’s work is characterized by a strong sense of composition and a deep respect for the natural world. Her images are imbued with an undeniable creative energy, capturing the essence of her subjects while transcending the mere representation of form. Through her lens, Lucia’s images act as a visual diary, documenting her ongoing exploration of the world, weaving a compelling narrative through her photography, meticulously embroidering each image to break free from the confines of a two-dimensional plane. With an innate desire to create sculptural masterpieces, her work encapsulates a harmonious marriage of traditional art forms and innovative techniques. Engstrom's lifelong passion for storytelling is palpable in each frame through her skillful use of light, color, and texture, as she invites the viewer to explore a world informed by her Scandinavian heritage and the diverse cultures that have shaped her artistic vision, all while nurturing an unwavering connection to nature.
