Emma Tingård is a Swedish artist based in Stockholm. She has exhibited in multiple venues throug- hout Europe, and has been featured on several International magazines, Vogue Magazine (UK) being the latest. Her artworks, mainly portraits of strangers with captivatingly odd features, aim at depic- ting her personal insight into the model ́s personality, which translates into ample strokes of vivid colors on a graffiti inspired outline; this technical approach is particularly evident in her series of street art driven works. Her current project involves, among other things, a collaboration with fashion designer Zena Presley and the up and coming design company Egoiste Mondiale.
"All my artwork is based on two ideas: the color communicability and movement by improvisation. My creative process starts with a feeling, an unspoken image with an end result that often surprises not only my audience but also myself. It's like a game where the final object hides in the unconscio- us. A timeless process without thoughts or words.
Portraits is a favourite theme. I love the human face. You can read so much about a person by simply looking at them closely. What they’ve been through, everything. I love the challenge of finding a specific detail in a person’s face which tells me something about their personality. I don’t really plan who I’m going to paint, I’ll be walking down the street and I’ll fall in love with someone’s characte- ristics: I love ears, big noses, eyes, and faces with a lot of character. It’s usually much more interes- ting to paint someone who isn’t “perfect”. And if they are, I’ll often make a change somewhere, to make them more real to me. I’m not interested in painting images which look like photographs. I want to express people’s personality, or even their soul, through the colours I see when I look at them.
I ́m an autodidact artist. I decided early on not to choose the classic way where arts education is an integral part but instead go my own way where there is no right or wrong, no predetermind ugly or beautiful. I wanted to let my own design language develope without framing my mental approach.
I get my inspiration from what speaks to me for the moment. It could be a documentary photograph in a newspaper, a mural I pass, a fabric's texture or people I pass on the street. My artistic mission is for me to transform these impressions into art. To create a dimension where the viewer meets reality by the way I see it."
