Sonja Hesslow

Art that Explores Imagination and Creativity

Artist Sonja Hesslow shares her passionate work, where the use of imagination and creativity is in focus. Hesslow describes her process as a journey from taking pictures with her camera to transforming them in Photoshop, where she transforms her mental images into actual works of art.

For Hesslow, it is crucial to be involved in the entire creation process. She not only explores digital media but also spends time creating her own props using different materials such as fabric, plastic and recycled objects. Through this, she creates a unique and personal touch in each work of art.

For Hesslow, creativity extends beyond the digital and involves meeting other creative souls for collaborations. She looks forward to continuing to exhibit, sell her work and give lectures to share her love of the art form. Sonja Hesslow's work is a tribute to the endless world of imagination and the multifaceted creative process.
