Holly Biörklund

How do I remember? Is it the way the light shines or how the sound moves over the shapes and the rhythms of the voices. It's a good place to go to when you're not trying too hard. We are all just looking for that great escape, the place where your heart sings and the light is bright and it feels like moving through honey; this is the heart song.

— Holly Biörklund

Holly Biörklund is an english artist, based in Stockholm Sweden. This body of work is centered around memory and the act to remember, walking along the boundary of reality and fantasy, large scale paintings invite you into a dreamlike world, glowing figurative shapes capture something that has passed, or the way we would like to see it, drawing similarities between how we imagine, dream and recollect. 

Biörklund graduated from Saint Martin's College of Art in London, since then her painting has evolved into a lyrical style often leaving the viewer feeling like you are lost in her imagination. Exhibitions of note include, a painted ball gown for the MET gala in 2016, a solo show at New Release gallery (New York) in 2020 and a solo show at Melina Merkouri (Ydra, Greece) in 2023. Her work is on permanent display at 11 Howard in NY, and she created a mural for the legendary OCF studios in Ydra, during her residency there in 2023.
