| About the artist

Johanna Nyborg (1989) is a Danish artist creating minimalistic and graphic works of art using fibre plaster and stain. Exploring materials, techniques and tactility every piece has its own uniqueness or visual dynamics meticulously made to create a holistic, clean expression entering the sphere of conceptual art.

With a background in art history, design culture and work within the interior and furniture field for several years, the artist interest in art and visual expression became a natural part of who she is and how she thinks. Her adopted means of expression are sculptures and wall pieces united by a common denominator: a search for serenity and inner reflection. Following an intuitive method of work, her meditative pieces are a result of her own intuition being set free letting her hands work and mind wander off.

“I’ve always been drawn to art, especially paintings and sculptures but also other artforms like poetry and music. To me, art is a strong connection with something that lies deep within us – which is also why it touches us.

What I like about conceptual or abstract art is how it makes me think yet at the same time prevents my brain from completely interpreting the piece but also experience it with my body. It’s a contradiction which I find so inspiring. I hope to create not only visually and aesthetically pleasing pieces, but also an expression your body and mind will never finish figuring out.”
