Meet Ellinor Widerberg – the artist who paints with her heart.
· Mikael Lindgren
Ellinor Widerberg is one of the designers we collaborate with and love to highlight. From Helgenäs in Småland, she creates murals that possess something rare – an immediate joy and warmth that reaches you long before you've had a chance to think.
Painting has been with Ellinor since childhood. It is her passion, her relaxation – and sometimes her refuge when her soul feels broken. In her paintings, her inner world takes center stage: fantasy birds, flowers, trees, foxes, and angels coexist in a colorful and generous imagery that is impossible not to smile at.
Ellinor is self-taught and works part-time as an artist, with Josef Frank as one of her major sources of inspiration. It shows – her murals have the same sense of abundance and life-affirming use of color that has made Frank timeless. Ellinor's Flower Power - Blue is just one vibrant example.
It is this kind of artistry that Reveal is built upon.
