Barbara von Barnrode – Contemporary Swedish Artist in Ulricehamn and Gothenburg

From Krakow to Sweden – A Journey Through Art and Emotion

I began my studies in medicine at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, but when my family emigrated to Sweden, my path shifted. I graduated in Art History and Sociology at the University of Gothenburg, while pursuing drawing and painting at TBV and Valand. What began as an academic curiosity soon became a personal necessity – art as language, art as survival. Over the years, I have exhibited mainly in Gothenburg, including at Cosmopolitan Gallery, Societetshuset in Marstrand, and the Gothenburg Cultural Centre. In recent years, I have found my base in Ulricehamn, where my work continues to evolve.
