Statement

Andersson's artistic practice revolves around self-portraits, surrealism, and psychological realism. Her artwork explores the different ways in which we experience the inhibition of the human body and mind, exploring the various methods and techniques that might convey this universal yet highly subjective phenomenon.

Situated at the intersection of fine art and psychology, Andersson’s work combines these disciplines to investigate the psyche and the complex relationship between the body and mind. She examines the intricacies of the human "self," encompassing both psychological and physiological aspects. Her goal is to externalize the mental landscape and visually represent it in the physical world.

Light plays a pivotal role in Andersson's work, serving as both a metaphor and a tool to illuminate the emotional landscapes she explores.

Andersson's focus on figurative and portraiture work captures the complexity of human emotion, using the body and face as vessels to explore identity and the interplay between the psychological and physical self. The motif of eyes recurs throughout Andersson's work, symbolizing introspection, perception, and the dynamic relationship between the viewer and the subject.

She takes inspiration from the surrealist movement and artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Frida Khalo, Jenny Saville, and René Magritte. Her primary mediums are oil and acrylic paint. She also employs sculptural mediums such as wood, clay, plaster, and rope. Her practice relies on a deeply immersive process of creation, embracing the joy of making and the thrill of experimenting with unconventional materials like coffee, spray insulation foam, and acrylic casting, and techniques like finger painting and paint piping.
