Anneli Önneby

Colorist
Naivist
Expressionist

Swedish artist located outside Stockholm. Anneli is autodidact and studied Art History and History at Stockholm University.

Anneli’s art and characteristic style is playful and figurative with a bold and bright palette, almost as if colors play a more significant part than the motif itself.

“in my artistry I am a storyteller working with time and timelessness. I want the viewer to feel connected with your inner self, and I try to reach the viewer through humorous stories, for example my series “Cat nap”, where the birds dominate the space in a room whilst the cat is napping. And as soon as the cat awakens the scene disappears.

I want to capture places, motives, scenes, environments, settings and figures that we can perceive as timeless.

I am an observant bystander who want to bridge, and even wipe out the line between past and present, and place my paintings in a timeless space.

Paint gardens, cats, birds and serene landscapes. Bright colors.

I have painted several series:
Cats and birds
Cats in cities
Parks
My garden
Women in art
Flowerpots
Memories

I want the viewer to feel happiness, maybe smile a little, when looking at my paintings.
