About Artist

Maja Malmcrona is a contemporary artist born 1993 in Göteborg, Sweden. After finishing a BFA degree in architecture in Sweden, her interest in abstract ideas brought her to the United Kingdom where she earned a MSc degree in philosophy. During these studies she explored art as the meaning—giving substance of our contemporary culture, akin to that of the religious experience. This cemented her artistic practice which she has relentlessly pursued since. Maja’s work is of a highly visceral nature, characterised by an open—ended process of experimentation and mistake. The pieces are continuous works in progress that consist of multiple layers of various media that create a living, three—dimensional, and almost sculptural surface. Her work is held by collectors across the world. She currently lives and works in Zürich, Switzerland.
