TITLE: Translucent.

Bilden är tagen med lång slutartid och rörelse-oskärpa.
Jag vill förmedla en känsla av livets flyktighet genom ett expresionistiskt uttryck. Bilden ska fånga essensen av människan.

AUTHOR: Ylva Sjögren (Sweden)


My name is Ylva Sjögren, and art in its many forms has always been an essential part of my life. Since childhood, I have been surrounded by art—the walls of our home were adorned with it. I have always felt a strong attraction to expressionism and surrealism, and these influences shape my own work.

Themes of time and aging frequently appear in my pieces. I often explore states of being where individuals feel trapped by both internal and external forces. Early in my life, I worked with elderly people living with dementia, an experience that sparked profound questions within me about the meaning of life and the many dimensions of being human.

2025 I have got 14 Honorable mentions and 3 BRONZE MEDALS- in
BLACK AND WHITE INTERNATIONAL IPA awards.

5 HONORABLE MENTIONS in MONOCHROME AWARDS. 2025.

Winner of the AAP MAGAZIN B&W award. 2025.

TOKIO INTERNATIONAL PHOTO AWARD 2025
Winner of SILVER and BRONZE Medals and 8:Honourable mentions.
