Agneta Jörlander

I have been working as a ceramist with my own studio in Stockholm since 1992. The artistic dimension has always been important in my production. In recent years, I have mainly worked with wall reliefs and objects in concrete, plaster, and clay for homes and public settings.

The sculptures show nature as playful, sensual and changeable.

With the reliefs, I strive for purity in the expression that borders the abstract. The motifs are meditative; time and perception are central to the experience. Sources of inspiration are nature, haikus, Zen philosophy and, more recently, architectural form.

In the creative process, I seek out the essential. By reducing elements, I find my way to what is signifcant. The interplay of light and shadow is an important part of the works. 

In today's connected society, where constant communication and extroversion are often expected, my art conveys an opposite approach. All parts of the image are equally important – even the empty ones. I want to create a mental space, a glade in time, where you can be truly present.

To become one with a vision, look again and feel.
