Bio

Jolanta Johnsson is a Polish artist based in Boxholm, Sweden, whose work spans painting, drawing, printmaking, collage and sculpture. She works primarily with oil painting on canvas, mixed media on paper, linocut graphics developed through personal techniques, and sculptural forms created from steel and wood.

Her artistic practice is guided by an ongoing dialogue between landscape and the human figure. Nature plays a central role in her work, not as a direct representation but as an emotional and structural experience. Observed landscapes become starting points for compositions that gradually move toward abstraction, revealing patterns, rhythms, and systems of growth found in the natural world.

Alongside landscape, the human figure allows Johnsson to explore existential questions and the paradoxes of human life. She is drawn to moments of transition and uncertainty — the space between opposing forces that defines human existence. Through simplified forms and open compositions, she seeks to express both vulnerability and resilience, emphasizing the quiet beauty present in human imperfection.
