Rebecca von Matérn

Style: abstract

Technique: acrylic on canvas, woodworking

Rebecca von Matérn (b. 1994, Stockholm) is a self-taught artist who creates both paintings and hand-built frames, continuing a tradition of craftsmanship. Her works are poetic in character, where atmosphere captures the essence of an emotion or energy — a core of a moment that is difficult to describe. Through minimal compositions and delicate shifts in color, her works invite attentive looking, revealing subtleties and the painting’s unique presence.

sense of tonal sensitivity

Working primarily with acrylic paint, she builds thin layers that create a veil-like depth, allowing the image to gradually unfold on the canvas. She is deeply drawn to color and approaches the choice of tones as an inner force, following emotional impulses rather than predetermined schemes, resulting in a strong sense of tonal sensitivity throughout her work.

the creative process

Her creative process begins with inspiration drawn from a state of full presence. Carrying with her a snapshot of a sensation or atmosphere, she allows the work to evolve freely, often arriving somewhere unexpected.

Alongside painting, she works with wood as a material, drawn to the beauty natural grain and its ability to be both structural and expressive. She builds her frames by hand, continuing a passion for craftsmanship inherited from her grandfather, a wood artist who was very present in her upbringing and encouraged her curiosity and exploration.
