Vera Ljunggren

“Don’t be ashamed to be a human being—be proud!
Inside you one vault after another opens endlessly.
You’ll never be complete, and that’s as it should be.”
-Tomas Tranströmer Romanesque arches

Vera Ljunggren (b.2000, Sweden) graduating from bachelor’s Textile department, Konstfack University, Stockholm, Sweden. She did an exchange term at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2024, working in mixed media were painting installation and textile is in the lead.

Vera’s artistic practice is driven by curiosity, exploring personal narratives, experiences and emotions. She has a desire to tell stories through her work, balancing the figurative
next to the unseen, inviting new meanings through the language of painting. At the center is a search for understanding where art, like life in general, gives rise to more questions than answers.
