HILDA LINDSTRÖM

ARTIST STATEMENT
Hilda Lindström is a visual artist that started as a professional printmaker (silkscreen, woodcut, offset, mixed media). Technically, her preferences extend in time from analogue printing techniques and textile art, towards new media (2D, 3D animation, vector, photography, video). She is found of learning new techniques and combining them with the ones that she is already mastering, obtaining hybrid media. She is interested in aspects of modern life (youth subcultures – particularly the hipster subculture, the Scandinavian modern life, the contemporary cultural tendencies reflected in various countries) all of them as experimented through her own point of view, because of being an expat herself in Eastern Europe for several years. Another point of interest is the contrast between the northern welfare states and the noir style in Swedish literature. Her mobile life as a traveller, crossing different cultures, has generated various experiences, and motivated her to understand her personal history in relation to various environments.
