About the artist: Annika Johansson

Annika Johansson is a Swedish painting artist whose art revolves around geometric patterns, color and a kind of contemporary Trompe l’oeil painting.

The colors are harmonious and only build with the help of light and shadow the illusion of being 3D. The surface is completely flat.

Her paintings are neither completely abstract nor figurative, but you can read figures or symbols, eyes, and mouths into them if you want.

Her work is characterized by clear lines, stylized and minimal shapes and strong colors and ranges from editorial illustration to large wall paintings, from design objects to books.

The colors are both clear and precise and the edges are razor sharp. The craft itself is something she puts a lot of time and care into, from sawing out shapes in mdf boards, spackle and sanding them to mixing the paint.

She always goes about it methodically, counting and drawing a pattern, taping, and painting layer upon layer of vinyl paint until she achieves the right shade and density in the paint.
It’s playful and colorful, with a bit of humor.
