ABOUT ME

Tina Hellblom-Thibblin is a visual artist working primarily with oil on canvas. She grew up in Västeras, Sweden, where she currently lives. She studied art theory at Uppsala University, where she later earned a Doctor of Philosophy.


Inspiration for her paintings was provided by study trips to Italy and France, where she was captivated by the mural paintings of southern Europe. She blends many concepts into her artistry, like the tensions between the imaginary and the concrete. Identity and relationships are incorporated into her paintings based on the surprising and the unpredictable. Spontaneity and the unfinished are also key to many of her works.


Her paintings have been shown in both solo and group exhibitions in Stockholm several times and at other places in Sweden.
