About Cornelia
Born 1970 in Sweden, she left searching for"the sun and light" and came to California in 1995 with her sister .
Growing up in Sweden with it's cold and long winters allowed time for lots of arts and crafts. Her parents were
(mom still is.....) both very creative always having some kind of project going-
painting, dollmaking, sculpting, knitting,weaving and photography........
Cornelia started painting as a hobby in 2001. Her "daytime job" is in the dentalfield for which she went to school in
Sweden. Dentistry involves her two passions- working with her hands and with people.
Cornelia lives in Los Angeles with her sister, boyfriend and dog
....loving every sunny moment of it!
Still experimenting, she uses the human body in an abstract way and paints with vibrant and intense colors to express
emotion and mood.
Her inspiration comes from a personal reflection on human relations and the interaction between people and their
surroundings.
She tries to express the constant exchange of positive and negative energy that life is...
Sacred geometry and symbolism has always been a fascination of hers.

Cornelia paints in acrylic & oil on canvas and wood.
Another method she uses is blockprinting-linoleum carvings pressed with ink on various mediums such as paper,
organza & wood. This way creating one of a kind prints.

Statement
For me creating art is the most powerful form of selfexpression and relaxation.
It's my "brain-drain" and when I paint time stands still and all is good....
My inspiration is everyday-life experiences and relationships.
I want to celebrate nature, love and the human body in any shape or form.
