Details:
Alofft Gallery presents Hidden Layers, the debut solo exhibition of Swedish-born abstract painter Mia Eriksson, is rooted in her Scandinavian upbringing and shaped by her global journey as a fashion model through Paris, New York, and Los Angeles. The exhibition showcases Eriksson’s exploration of what lies beneath the surface, revealing the unseen textures, patterns and layers of the natural world.
Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s words, “As we grow old, the beauty steals inward,” Hidden Layers reflects on how true beauty emerges from depth, memory, and transformation. Eriksson adds and subtracts layers of acrylics, oils, charcoal, ink, dyes and organic materials such as bark, beach sand, and coffee grounds to create abstractions that echo the earth’s complexities, simplicities, and perfect imperfections. As the artist notes, “I have lived two lives—one as a fashion model showing only the surface of me, and now as an artist where I can reveal what’s inside.” Guided by her belief that nature’s most compelling beauty exists beyond what is immediately visible, she invites viewers to look inward and celebrate the revelations that come when we search beneath the surface.
Rooted in her Scandinavian upbringing and shaped by her global journey through Paris, New York, and Los Angeles, Eriksson’s work explores the unseen patterns and textures of the natural world. Through richly layered canvases and collage works using acrylics, oils, charcoal, and organic materials, Eriksson creates abstractions that reveal nature’s complexities, simplicities, and perfect imperfections. Inspired by Emerson’s words, “As we grow old, the beauty steals inward,” Hidden Layers invites viewers to discover the beauty beneath the surface.
