Her pioneering use of geometric shapes, vibrant colours, and spiritual themes aimed to convey complex metaphysical ideas, positioning her as a profound influence on the evolution of modern art.

    The Influence & Legacy Of Hilma af Klint Paintings

    Famous first in the art scene, then in her home country of Sweden, and now around the world over 150 years after her birth in 1862, Hilma af Klint is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential figures in European abstract and modern art. She made it her life’s work to capture the spiritual side of the world she saw, in best selling Hilma af Klint artworks including the Hilma af Klint ‘Tree Of Knowledge’ print and Hilma af Klint ‘Dove’ print.

    Until her death in 1944, she continued to stretch the boundaries of Swedish and spiritual art, and it is this boldness that sees her work continue to be adored in all corners of the globe. Bring a touch of abstract Swedish art into your living space today.


    A Deeper Story Within Hilma Af Klint Prints

    When considering what pinpoints Hilma af Klint as the abstract artist of a generation not just in Sweden, but across Europe, it’s important to recognise that she is now regarded as the first abstract artist, before the likes of Wassily Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso. Perhaps it was this visionary streak that made her decide her art should only be displayed 20 years after death. She was one of the first women ever to study art at university, but until the 1980s her repertoire of work remained largely unseen.

    An interest in the supernatural is evident in paintings such as the Hilma af Klint 'Altarpiece’ print series, depicting a futuristic, suspended centrepiece. It’s hard to comprehend that it was painted in 1915 for its undeniably psychedelic composition.
