Interaction

Kicki Edgren has gained international recognition for her
distinctive technique and deep understanding of human anatomy. She began exhibiting her work at the age of fifteen and has since shown her art throughout Europe, as well as in the United States and Canada.

Although formally trained at HDK-Valand, Academy of Art and Design at the University of Gothenburg, Kicki’s artistic journey began much earlier, driven by curiosity and a strong need to create. Her process today is shaped by ongoing experimentation with materials, techniques, and ideas.

At the heart of her work is the human being trying to visualize people’s souls through the movement and expression of the body. Her paintings offer a raw and intimate look at how emotions are reflected in gestures, posture, and facial expressions. She seeks to make the invisible visible—the inner states that come through in a glance, a bent neck, or an outstretched arm. Her art captures both ordinary emotions and moments of deep personal shift.

Artist statement: I’m drawn to what can’t be said—what lives beneath the surface. I paint people to reveal their inner emotions through body language and posture. I use colors and lines to intensify the stories, in a raw and expressionistic manner.
