Sara Lailasdotter
What do you call your series of artworks?
– I've named the series "Fake glass bitch", which perfectly describes this collection, as it is made of plexi, a durable and shatter-resistant plastic that resembles glass.
What technique have you used?
– The collection is crafted from hand-painted acrylic glass that is carefully shaped by hand.
What inspired you to create the artworks you have made for The Ode To?
– I aimed to create a collection that combines elegance with edginess. My goal was to design eye-catching objects that are bound to grab attention, while also maintaining a soft and minimalist aesthetic.
Can you tell us about your background and how you came to be an artist?
– I am 35 years old, born and raised in the northern part of Sweden. Throughout my life, I have always been drawn toward creativity, and this passion has been the driving force behind most of my life decisions. I have been working in the field of art and design for the majority of my adult life. My journey in design started in 2009 when I went to Beckmans College of Design for a year to study furniture design. In 2015, I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Arts from HDK Valand. After a few years, I decided to merge all my creative skills into one and became an Art Director. However, with a strong desire to return to my own creative roots, I started my own business in 2021 and have been working full-time with my art since the beginning of 2023.
How would you describe your art and aesthetics in three words?
– Playful, unsuspected, and eye-catching.
