Carola Persson is an artist living and working in Malmö, Sweden. Since learning to paint at age twelve, she has continued to learn and work with new methods and materials whenever possible. Her coursework includes four semesters at the School for Visual Arts in New York, a degree in electrical engineering from Lund University, and her Bachelors of Science in Education from Umeå University.

In her practice, Carola views herself as an observer, reflecting on the human need to belong in a group or society balanced against the need to be on one’s own and make personal choices. She explores these themes through drawing, printmaking, installation, collage, book arts, painting, and photography.
