Freja Erixån

Freja Erixån's work is a perfect match for Fine Little Day. We love her winding and unpredictable, distinctly naive imagery. Freja has designed a new children's collection for us. Read the interview with Freja and discover the collection here.

Freja Erixån (b. 1990) is a visual artist, cartoonist and illustrator based in Malmö, Sweden. She took her Master Degree in Design at HDK School of Design and Crafts in 2018. Her work has been curated at galleries such as Galleri Thomassen in Gothenburg (2021), Stenungsunds konsthall (2020) and at Sandvikens konsthall (2016).
Her debut series book “Över min döda kropp” (“Over my dead body”) was published in February 2019 and the sequel “Bakom gjäret broadid behaget” (“Behind the desire next to the pleasure”) in November 2021, both at the publisher Kartago Förlag.

Erixån mostly draws and paints with oil pastel, charcoal, watercolor and acrylic on paper. Elisabeth asked Freja some questions about her artistic work.

Q: Did you always know that you wanted to be an artist professionally? Do you come from a family of artists?

A: My mother and my older sister are both artists, and I always knew I wanted to work as an author and with something in the artistic field even though I'm very grateful and surprised every day that it's actually possible.

Q: What inspires that incisiveness humor that we see in what you do?

A: I don't know, I started using irony early in life and in my imagery as a kind of tool to capture emotions around and to grasp situations. People often laugh at my most serious sides, drawings or texts, I have been told that it depends on my tone. 

Q: What do you think are the opportunities and challenges of being an artist?

A: It’s a challenge to continue regardless of the response, and you often put a lot of time in projects that generates small results, not the least financially. But to live on what you create, draw, think and write beats everything for me.

Q: What would you do if you had unlimited cash?

A: I would buy a mansion on the countryside and use half of it as a studio and the other half to raise my dogs and my children.
