Anna Bjerger

Anna Bjerger’s paintings draw on images from her everyday surroundings. Small details, fleeting situations and quiet observations become the starting point for her work. Through the act of painting these intimate glimpses are slowed down and transformed, shifting our attention to subtle moods, textures and atmospheres that often pass unnoticed. Working with oil on aluminium, Bjerger balances the physical presence of the painting with the psychological resonance of the image. Her works offer quiet reflections on perception and memory, inviting us to look again at the familiar and discover the poetic potential embedded in the ordinary..// Swedish artist Anna Bjerger (Skallsjö, 1973) lives and works in Småland.
