Charlotte Eder

“I am driven by an insatiable need to explore different techniques and ways of portraying the forest and nature. Even though I live in a rural area of Swedish Lapland, I can never get close enough to nature.”

Charlotte Eder grew up in a small community in northern Sweden, in a family where art and culture, art and politics were an important part of everyday life. Her father Josef, who was a skilled artist, left Austria for Sweden in 1938, to avoid being drafted into the Second World War. He worked with sculpture and reliefs in wood. As a child Charlotte was very involved in his creative work. Starting to paint was therefore a natural step for her. However, this happened somewhat later in her life; after establishing a professional career in international business development and export.

She is very involved in her motifs, which usually depict landscapes and nature with a focus on trees, sky, water, stone, flowers and the occasional bird. It's been a long time since she has been painting faces and bodies. Because of traumatic experiences she was first unable to paint faces and later on not even human bodies. So100% nature and not a human as far as the eye can see.

Charlotte is autodidact and has been an artist for about twent...
