More about the artist

Sixten Sandra Österberg

Sixten Sandra Österberg works within a pronounced, painterly methodology where representational realism is combined with liberated abstraction. Her motifs are constructed from contemporary references, while her compositions deliberately both adhere to and break with the art historical traditions of how nude bodies are depicted.
