Artist Arena is a curated platform built by and for artists. Through physical exhibitions in Stockholm and our online marketplace, Artist Arena Market, we connect contemporary artists with collectors across the globe. We represent a diverse community – from emerging talents and growing voices to established names – and showcase original works in carefully selected and inspiring environments. Our mission is to build a positive, supportive community that empowers more artists to grow, reach new audiences, and pursue their dreams. For collectors, we offer direct access to unique contemporary art and the opportunity to invest in a wide range of artistic expression.

About

My name is Jannike Simonsson and I am an artist/framer who lives and works in Stockholm.
I use mostly reused material such as newspapers, photograhps, card board, old reciepts and play a lot with watercolour and pens on top of that. I normally let the material (and the old upcycled frames) lead the way to the motives.

I have a framing shop and art boutique in Lidingö and have a Master's Certificate in framing, besides my artist caréer.

My concept COLLAGE & CAVA has been a sucess, it´s a workshop where I teach collage tecniques and where we have a fun creative moment with wine and art.

Abstrakt II

Inspiration

I like artists like Gösta Adrian Nilsson, Fernand Legér, Otto G Carlsund, Sonia Delauney who lived and worked in the beginning of 1900.
The colours, the figures, the abstract forms. The material it self also inspires me, if I see a beautiful piece of ripped paper for example, I feel the need to use it somehow.

I have spent at lot of time in Lofoten, Norway, where the mountains and big ocean waves have left a mark in my soul.

Collage and Cava workshop 21/5

All sorts of paper and cardboard. Watercolours, pencils.
Some times also textile material.

I glue paper on top of each other, to make an interesting abstract figure. I mix and match colors and lines to make the artpiece dynamic and balanced.
Since my pieces art quite small, I often have a bigger matt board a round, and some times an extra ordinary frame.
