About
Eva Katrín is a contemporary textile artist based in Gothenburg, Sweden, where she lives with her husband and their three children. Her creative journey began early in life, but it was in 2020 that she started sharing and selling her work in Iceland. Today, Eva is known for her soft, sculptural floral compositions - a visual language she has been developing and refining over the past year. Through a unique merging of textile and visual art, she creates richly textured, three-dimensional works woven with yarn on raw linen canvas.
Her handwoven botanical abstractions reflect shifting moods, seasons, and emotional landscapes. Each piece invites stillness and intimacy - a quiet celebration of softness in both nature and form, encouraging the viewer to pause, breathe, and feel.
Alongside her art practice, Eva has worked as a registered nurse. She has gracefully balanced her roles as caregiver and creator, nurturing a part-time artistic career rooted in emotion, material sensitivity, and visual depth.

Inspiration
Eva finds inspiration in wild meadows, the imperfect rhythms of nature and how things are allowed to grow whiteout needing to be loud. She is fascinated by the contrast between the softness of yarn and the sturdy weave of linen, exploring a dynamic balance between warmth and structure.
"I’m inspired by slowness - by the time it takes to weave, loop, and shape every thread. In a fast world, I want my work to be a pause. A gentle reminder of softness, rootedness and the quiet beauty that exists all around us - if we take the time to look."
Eva Katrín is in the early stages of her artistic journey and has not yet participated in exhibitions.
Traditional textile techniques with a contemporary approach.
Woven yarn on raw linen canvas.
Each piece begins with a linen canvas as the foundation, into which I lay waved yarn to gradually build up layers of color, texture, and form. This tactile process emphasizes the interplay between materials, allowing the unique qualities of each fiber to shape the final work.
