Cecilia Sjoholm
At the heart of my practice is a deep curiosity about sculpture and its dynamic relationship with space and emotion. I am drawn to the expressive potential of both natural and man-made materials, and I explore how their unexpected combinations can evoke a sense of mystery and meaning, but also what value we might give certain objects. I approach materials and colours as if they carry unique personalities, allowing them to interact in ways that create compelling visual dialogues. By juxtaposing organic forms with industrial elements, I aim to challenge conventional perceptions, inviting tension, harmony, and a sense of transformation.
Through abstract compositions, my work seeks to translate complex emotional landscapes and inner narratives. Themes such as desire, anxiety, euphoria, and release are central to this exploration. A recurring figure in my thinking is the ‘inner trickster’ — a playful, instinctual force that reveals the layered dynamics between our authentic selves and the personas we present to the world.
