About my art:


“Anna Nyberg works with a painting practice that often results in large spatial installations.

The painted objects relate to the walls, ceiling and floor of the exhibition hall – in the encounter with these, new, both real and imaginary, spatialities arise. Here, the body's own perceptive ability to take in knowledge from its surroundings is challenged. By letting the viewer experience the place from the inside, she wants to create an awareness of her own existence. In her work, Nyberg examines the gap between the inner and outer experience of reality. The physical presence of a place is seamlessly mixed with the emotions and imagination of the inner experience. In her spatial installation, she wants to make this complex game visible and let the viewer examine how things relate to each other. Where is the boundary between thought and matter?”


Excerpt from text by Martina MacQueen, curator at Västerås Art Museum.


“The existing space is almost always made part of the works. This also means that they are necessarily viewed from the inside. There is no point from which they can be viewed from the outside, from a distance, unless you can see through walls.” Milou Allerholm, excerpt from the publication “When the room is the picture” 2022
