ABOUT YLVA

A BLANK CANVAS HAS UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES 

Ylva grew up on the countryside, she was always out in the woods or out on the sea with her father who did wildlife painting. he always told her, whatever you decide to do, don’t become an artist. so, of course Ylva signed up for art collage where she studied drawing, painting and sculpturing. drawing led to sketching, sketching to fashion and design. after having painted with acrylics oil was an exciting challenge and in the spring of 2020 Ylva was approached to exhibit her work.
inspired by Instagram the square format has been her natural form to work in since the start. at the latest exhibition at Nordiska Kompaniet (Stockholm’s #1 department store) shoes was a given theme. her own heels, both new and vintage, the ones she fell head over heels in love with, constitute the motif for her amazing paintings.
