About
Maria C. Bernhardsson is a Swedish artist whose collage artworks bring together bold color, geometric structure, and layered visual textures. Florals, foliage, buildings, and everyday tableaus are reimagined and simplified into painted and collaged shapes, allowing pattern and color to guide each composition. Her arrangements feel abundant and playful while retaining a clear sense of balance.
Bernhardsson builds her imagery through overlapping forms, subtle shifts in texture, and contrasts between saturated colors and softer pastel tones. Familiar subjects are reimagined through a skewed, dreamlike perspective, giving each composition its own distinctive character. Carefully placed details reward closer viewing, from delicate linear marks to patterned papers and small bursts of color.

Warmth and familiarity remain central to Bernhardsson’s work. Her collages bring familiar imagery into playful, layered compositions, using color, shape, pattern, and texture to create a sense of rhythm and visual abundance.
Bernhardsson describes her approach to color: “The colorway is very important to me when I paint. I love to combine as many colors as possible at the same time. Contrasts, strong colors and bright pastels, plain and structured, dark and bright, all come together in a cubistic, skewed, dreamy, and naive way.”
