156 Anna Pajak - "The space between us", Hand-signed and numbered "24/151"

In the artwork "The space between us," one can see through a portal with glimpses of space, stars, and a planet in between. In the center lies the exact shape of the luminous crystal, floating weightlessly and timeless in its own dimension.

Anna Pajak is a painter and printmaker. Her work often originates from a bodily sensation translated into the visual realm. In her pieces, she explores geometric spaces and architectural elements such as surfaces, patterns, and depths. Pajak merges color, symbols, and perspectives into a visionary visual language where the abstract meets the figurative. Drawing inspiration from modernist female painters, spiritualism, and dreams, Pajak deconstructs and combines symbols, images, shapes, and architectural fragments in ways that challenge traditional contexts and interpretations. Her large-scale paintings imbue life with a sense of another dimension - a reality bordering on dream and fiction.

Anna Pajak, born in 1992, lives and works in Stockholm. She graduated from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm in 2020. Anna Pajak has exhibited at Stene Projects, Stockholm, Konsthallen Kvarnen, Dalarna, and at the Royal Institute of Art, among others. She has been awarded grants from the Queen Sonja Printmaking Award (2021) and the Royal Institute of Art (2019 and 2020).
