my art by Kerstin Lindstroem (prev. Mowafi)

I was born 1948 in Hanko, Finland.
As long as I can remember I have been drawing and paiting. During 1988 - 1994 I have been studying portrait painting at an Art School called Vuxenskolan -Studieförbundet in Stockholm, Sweden.
I paint in watercolour and mixed media. I draw portraits on orders (both people and animals - tiger - birds - dogs and so on) - I paint flowers, buildings, still lifes.
Today I mainly work with pharaonic art in different forms. On papyri - watercolour paper - artist canvas - pharaonic reliefs made of italian sculpture clay - interior design pharaonic tiles for kitchen and bathroom - planning to design pharaonic chairs and tables - planning to design pharaonic jewellery -
My Egyptian-inspired work draws on historical sources that deal with symbolic sources dating back to the pyramids. My art is an excellent example of how I relate to ancient civilations and their sources of cultural power.
I participated at the 2007 Florence Biennale.
Since 1994 I have had twenty solo exhibitions in Finland and in Sweden and about thirtyfive group exhibitions in several towns in Sweden - in Italy - in Finland.
My works belong to private and public collections in several countries.
I am an awarded artist and I am a member of the Swedish Artist Association.
