Perfected imperfection
At The Ode To we are always curious to learn more about creativity and artistry, so we asked the Swedish multi talent Cina Rosén to tell us a little bit about her life, her art and her sources of inspiration.
What do you call the series of artworks that you have created for The Ode To?
– Busy florals. My intention with these artworks has been to move away from perfection, and simply make the viewer happy with colours and shapes.
What inspires you?
– I'm mainly inspired by nature, but there are also a few Instagram accounts that inspire me with quick, powerful art.
What other artists do you admire?
– I really admire Jenny Walton. She's a fashion illustrator and has an amazing drawing style – it’s imperfect but so impactful and colourful.
Can you tell us about your background and how you came to be an artist?
– I work as a full-time fashion designer, but I need an outlet where I can create whatever I feel like. I’ve studied fashion illustration, and that’s where my love for illustration started.
How would you describe your art and aesthetics in three words?
– Messy, colourful, imperfect.
There’s an energy, optimism, and playfulness in the art of Cina Rosén that we simply can’t resist, reminding us about the importance of imperfection.
