HELMTRUD NYSTRÖM C.1983. 'Fragments of clay' . Acrylic on canvas
In this enigmatic work by Swedish artist Helmtrud Nystrom, soft chalky washes of pale pink and clay form the backdrop to an array of delicate markings and glyph like symbols including animals and folk art from across cultures.
They drift across the canvas in loose constellations, feeling like fragments from a forgotten mythology—part dreamscape, collective memory.
Despite its ethereal quality, the work holds presence. It asks the viewer to slow down, to search and interpret, to make meaning in the quiet spaces between its marks.
Perfect for a calm, light-filled space in a reception room, dining room or bedroom, this painting invites ongoing engagement—a subtly powerful piece that shifts each time you return to it.
