Hilma Dove 2

Whos is Hilma af Klint? 

A Swedish artist ahead of her time blazed a trail for abstract art in the early 20th century. Her visionary work, influenced by spiritualism and Theosophy, introduced abstract concepts and symbols before it became a mainstream art movement. Believing she was guided by spiritual forces, af Klint's abstract and symbolic paintings embodied a unique spiritual connection. She kept her innovative art private during her lifetime, and it was only after her death that her pioneering contributions gained recognition in the art world, solidifying her legacy as an early abstract art pioneer.

Hilma's story reminds us that artistic expression is a channel for something greater than ourselves, a way to connect with the mystical forces that often lie beyond our comprehension. Her work, born from collaboration with a group of visionary women, challenges our understanding of art and its origins. They tapped into a dimension where creativity flows boundlessly, transcending time and space.

Discovering Hilma was a significant turning point in my artistic journey. The fact that she asked her family to conceal her paintings for 20 years after her passing profoundly impacted me. It's mind-boggling to think that the world is only now beginning to see and appreciate her work. Her ideas remain deep and intuitive, and creations are channelled through her and not consciously decided. 

As I continue to explore and share my work, I'm inspired by Hilma's courage to break free from conventions and her willingness to let her art evolve through spiritual connection. Her legacy is a testament to the power of the mystic and the unseen and the profound impact they can have on our creative endeavours.
