Lisa Abelsson

(1956-)

Lisa Abelsson, the Swedish net sculptor artist. Famous for her dresses and torsos in metallic net. Her work are deeply rooted in the scenic and inspiring environment of Österlen. After spending a few formative years in Paris as a young adult, Abelsson developed an artistic practice characterized by a passion for dance, fashion, and people's personal stories. These elements are clearly present in her work, giving her art its unique character and depth.

Paris, with its rich cultural history and vibrant art scene, has left a lasting impact on Abelsson's artistic expression. The city, renowned for influencing the careers of many artists, became an invaluable source of inspiration for Abelsson. The dynamics of dance and the ever-changing nature of fashion serve as metaphors for human emotions and relationships in her work, adding a vibrancy and movement that captures the viewer's attention.

By exploring life stories and personal narratives in her art, Abelsson creates works that are both accessible and deeply moving. Her ability to capture the essence of the human experience—sometimes with a subtle nod to the broader themes that shape our lives—makes her art a reflection of the universal emotions that connect us all.
