Ida Bentinger

Ida Bentinger, a prominent Swedish artist with a brilliant career in the art world, distinguishes herself through her atmospheric painting where light and emotion are in focus. Her artistic expression often revolves around nature and people, and she explores the complex interplay between them. After completing an artistic education at Konstfack, Bentinger continued her studies in Italy, where she received a Master's in liberal arts under the guidance of the distinguished professor Luca Caccioni.

Organic forms form a characteristic part of Bentinger's artistry, which is reflected both in her paintings and in her sculptures and installations. She has won the prize for best painting at the Florence Biennale and has impressed with several international exhibitions. Her artwork also adorns public places around Sweden.
