Your Heart to a Dog to tear

Lisa Liljeström (b. 1998 Härnösand, Sweden) uses the medium of painting to distinguish fragments, distort and transfer information from already existing images, rather than creating new ones. Through conscious collecting and editing of digital reference photos, she investigates how the images' original emotional tone can change and looks for an expression of the fragmentary state that never ending streams of information creates. Lisa Liljeström holds a BFA from Valand Academy, Gothenburg.
