ARTIST BIO

Camilla Howalt (b. 1968) is an artist based in Malmö, Sweden. Drawing is her primary language - stretched across materials and methods including textural painting, pyrography, knotting, and embroidery, and at times extended into three-dimensional space. The approach is constructivist in sensibility: organised through grids, constellations, and sustained attention rather than image or gesture.

Since childhood, Howalt has lived and travelled extensively across Europe, North America, East and West Africa - an itinerant formation that runs through the work as an ongoing engagement with the surfaces and structures, cultures and boundaries that carry place, history, and time.

She holds a BA (Hons) Fine Art (First Class) from University of the Arts, London and an MA in Philosophy, Aesthetics and Art Theory from CRMEP, London.

Her work is held in private collections across Europe.
