About the artworkSixten Sandra Österberg is a painter, but likens her work to that of a sculptor. In the same way that clay and wax are kneaded and reused, she molds the oil paint. The starting point for her creative process is often photographs of her circle of friends. The paintings are hyper-realistic and abstract at the same time. A woven rug turns into pure colour, a body slips almost imperceptibly from being faithfully reproduced to becoming a compact layer of paint. The viewing begins in the familiar and recognizable, but the dissolved forms open the images to new sentiments and interpretations.
