CHATARINA SALOMONSSON

An emerging artist from Sweden who awakens intensity, skin, and introspection, inspired by nudity, the warmth of the skin and the tenderness of the muscles.

Often insinuating rather than showing, she achieves this effect of sensual voluptuousness, repressed longing and desire, or visual recreation.

All sensuality and suggestion, with a more evocative and aesthetic than provocative result, her works are elegant both for their lines and for their concept. In any case, they are always images that make the imagination fly and that refer us to our own fantasies, those that we have hidden inside in a little corner of us but that with these works materialize before us for the first time.

Eroticism is one of the recurring themes in the minds of painters, sculptors, drafters and photographers. From nineteenth-century furniture to pieces of design, books, prints, photography, painting and sculpture. Proof of this are the enormous amounts for which they have been bought at auctions. Is there something as tempting as erotic art?

Two years ago she bought her first brush and canvas. She had never painted before or been interested in it. Art was something completely foreign to her. Art was something that others could do, but not her.

But suddenly she started testing colours and what to do with them. This piqued her interest in colour and technology. So, in 2019 she took the courage to try to paint women, strong women, and find inspiration from dance, from her life. She continued to explore the human body, both naked and clothed. Wanted others to feel like her too.

‘I want you to share with me a feeling that touches. Which grabs you, where you feel the strength, the love and at the same time a colourful explosion and emotions that touch … all the way out to the far end of the brush. There, right there, we unite, you and me.’

She paints in acrylic and loves thick layers, where the feeling she wants slowly comes out. ‘It is life that exists in all camps, my life.’

‘Getting the opportunity to show my art in New York in April is breathtaking and feels fantastic and I feel grateful and humbled by this opportunity.’

The feeling is magical, like a performance in theatre and dance, but without script. It is her brush that she holds in a safe hand. ‘It is with warm joy that I get there, over there, the popular thing. So crazy wonderfully happy!’
