Agneta E Hildén‘s artistic journey began in the tranquil landscapes of northern Sweden, where she still finds respite and inspiration. The serene beauty of her homeland, especially during her frequent holiday visits, provides a vital source of creativity, shaping her artistic worldview. Growing up, Agneta was more than an aspiring artist—she was an elite gymnast, often traveling extensively from a young age. By her 13th birthday, she had already celebrated in Beirut and frequently visited New York, immersing herself in diverse cultures that would leave a lasting impact on her. These early experiences played an essential role in shaping her perspective, imbuing her art with multicultural depth and insight.
Her initial venture into formal education took her to Stockholm, where she pursued architecture. This path, however, soon shifted as she found herself drawn to an art program, an invitation she embraced wholeheartedly. Yet, this period was not without its challenges. During her studies, she encountered significant mental health struggles, describing it as a time when her soul was “offered on the altar of art.” This vulnerability, though difficult, added layers of authenticity and emotional resonance to her work, profoundly influencing her artistic approach. Later in life, marriage and motherhood provided further depth to her creations, as personal milestones became interwoven into her art.
These diverse facets of Agneta’s background—ranging from her rigorous training in gymnastics to her architectural studies and personal challenges—have all profoundly influenced her artistic output. Her projects like LA Modulor delve into themes of the female body and its expression within architectural contexts, while ODD Realism presents a candid exploration of humanity’s varying realities. These works collectively explore themes of cultural diversity, personal acceptance, and the myriad ways humans relate to both physical and emotional spaces.
“I was born with that gene of an artist for good and bad. It’s necessary as an honest artist and what you want to leave behind.”
´Im working with a study that I started with in Paris as a part of my study in Architecture and Art. Its about female proprotions in the grammar in architecture, Of course in history the mens body and mind has been the issue. For example who I studied in Paris was Le Corbusier Vitruvius etc The old grammar in Architecture I call my study LA MODULOR The study LA MODULOR is based on observations om my own body and mind and space and time. To me art and architecture connect more and more on an deeper plane inside the human as archetypes.`
ODD Realism is what I call my other main study. It was inspired by artists in history who had a lack of mental health. There are contrasts in colors, naivete in drawings, figures, the expression of suffering in the motives, etc. All are often based on their great humanity. The study ODD REALISM is based on a study of artists in history such as von Gogh, Edvard Munch, CF Hill, and Erland Cullberg. Its obsessions exist in my own body and mind. Its soulmates have their own rules in art, but we all connect on a deeper plan in architecypes This art has different rules, but it's important to look for what we all have in common. I was born with the gene of an artist, for good and bad, which I sacrifice on the altar of art. Its necessary as an honest artist and with the work you do and then what you want to leave behind for coming generations."Its been called a work of an pioneer`
To her, art is not merely a visual experience but a mission—an opportunity to make sense of the world, communicate essential truths, and leave behind a meaningful legacy. This dream represents not just her commitment to her craft, but also her desire to contribute to the wider artistic discourse in a way that resonates far beyond her studio.
´What is impossible and rare is to explore`
