Maja Malmcrona

Maja Malmcrona is an artist born 1993 in Sweden. After finishing a BFA degree in Architecture in Sweden, she relocated to the United Kingdom where she earned a MSc degree in Philosophy. During her philosophy degree she explored art as the meaning–giving substance of our contemporary culture, akin to that of the religious experience. This cemented her artistic practice which she has relentlessly pursued since. Her work is held by collectors across the world and she has been featured in numerous publications. She lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland. Maja Malmcrona’s work explores themes of connection, destruction, equilibrium, and abstraction. She is interested in physical reality and in what happens to our lived experience when we allow ourselves to celebrate its various contradictions rather than struggle against them, rejecting self–absorption and superficiality in favour of the universal and the introspective. She builds up her pieces slowly, accumulating various materials, constructions, and surfaces in order to create a tension between not just what is assembled, but what is perceived. This accumulation is rendered significant by its diversity and its balance, imbuing the compositions with a spatial presence and an invitation towards imagination. Her work is grounded in both historical and contemporary perspectives of art and philosophy, investigating the continuity between painting, architecture, and literature.
