Linnéa Andersson

Artist Linnea Andersson is known for her large-scale botanical leaves in vibrant colours. Her energetic, expressive works mix colourful motifs and patterns that are striking, dynamic and distinctively decorative.

Linnéa Andersson, born in 1989, is a visual artist and illustrator based in Gothenburg, Sweden. She took her Master Degree in Design at HDK School of Design and Crafts in 2018 and has already been curated for several exhibitions at galleries and worked with clients such as IKEA, Lush Cosmetics, WRAP Magazine to name a few. Linnéa often work from a gender perspective and moves between art and design.

We visited her in her studio in Majorna, Gothenburg where she is currently preparing for her next project, a private mural taking place somewhere in Europe summer 2024.

Q: In your opinion, are artists born or made?

A: I would say it is a combination of both, or neither nor. I think that some kind of eager to be creative is needed from start, and that would I like to think is something that you are born with or not. Then what that creativity leads to could be very different depending on other circumstances. I would say that I was lucky growing up as the youngest in a set of creative siblings. I was always lacking a bit behind, and had something to aim for. Resistance is good as long as it develops you further. If it’s too easy it’s no fun.
But saying all this I think training is key to become an artist. Not just about technical skills, I think that training your eye is the most important. Or ear. Or whatever organ you need in order to judge whether something is good or not. Not necessary beautiful, but interesting.
