Carola Kastman

Carola Kastman is a prominent Swedish artist based in Stockholm. Working in mixed media on Japanese paper and canvas, she builds her pieces layer by layer using oil, emulsion, pen, and collage, a process that lends her works depth, texture, and material presence. Inspired by the seasons, dreams, and the beauty of imperfection, her artistic practice is both uncompromising and deeply personal, infused with a distinct poetic sensibility. Her works open up mysterious narratives, inhabited by silent, androgynous figures. Kastman has made a strong mark both in Sweden and internationally, with a career that continues to evolve.
