Biography
Maria Lundström was born in 1954 in the far north of Sweden. She lived close to nature and gradually moved south to study art at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design. She currently resides in a small chapel which she converted into a studio south of Sweden.
Over the years her work has evolved in style that are recognizable today. She is inspired by both organic and geometry elements. She uses flowing direct lines, playful abstract shapes, color combinations and elements of still-life created on to the canvas without any prior planning.
Lundström's relationship with paint is both physical and emotional. She evokes emotions but also other senses such as taste, touch and smell. She views letters, numbers and colors as forms and sounds. She is now part of international exhibitions and has collaborated with Gorman Clothing (AU) for a collection of homewares designed from her paintings.
Lundström has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Europe and the United States; Los Angeles, Oregon, and Denmark. During the summer of 2021, she was part of Heads Full of Poetry at Simard Bilodeau Contemporary in Los Angeles.
