ABOUT the artist

My name is Maria Olsson and I am a visual artist, I live in Ås and have my studio on Prästgatan 65 in Östersund. The motives have changed over the years and since I now live in Ås, I am drawn to old houses and agricultural environments and to the sadness that rests over those places. In the past, it has been closer at hand to paint urban environments because I lived in Östersund, apartment buildings and people. Children have also been a motive that I have been working on for a long time. Old photographs are something that I am also inspired by. I like to combine different pictures in my paintings to see what happens. Email address: mia.miao@telia.com.

ABOUT the exhibition 

In her finely tuned world of images, people move through different ears. It is memory fragments from specific moments in quiet environments. http://mariaolsson.nu/
