Rita Borlin

About Rita Börlin
Rita Börlin is a Sweden based painter, sculptor and former educator. Rita paint in ink, aquarell and oil colors both figuratively and abstractly. For sculpting she uses mostly stoneware and is now even exploring porcelain. She was born in the north part of Sweden and moved to Stockholm, Sweden for her art education.
Growing up on the countryside, by the sea, in a creative family gave her access to both the closeness to her family that is explored in an ancient and modern tradition of art in her portraits. Nature became a source for her interest in using colors in these traditions of art.
Rita graduated in 1996 from the Stockholm University College of Arts Crafts and Design, with a focus on Art Education and Design. After graduation she has been teaching at High School and simultaneously worked with her artistry.
Rita has exhibited her art in Sweden and Germany. She is now working full time as an artist and she loves to explore and develop her ideas in her studio.
