Daniela E. Edstrom
Daniela Edstrom is primarily a digital fine artist. Her work, composed of photographs dedicated to varying subject matter, usually involves interjections of elements from nature. Life, both in its minutiae and grandeur, from the vein of a leaf to the vastness of a landscape, is perceived as metaphysical, harboring a sacred spiritual and formal make up. Edstrom has shown her paintings, collages, mixed media and other art in solo, juried and group exhibitions within the United States and abroad.
For over a decade now her work has focused on producing photo collage in series; these cover specific themes - from the meaning of beauty to the subconscious symbolism of toys (dolls). Recently, the artist has explored the significance of faith as both a source of political and social power within the 21st century. The majority of her projects originate from a dialogue and questioning of why we perceive certain objects and concepts the way we do; hopefully Edstrom's work can offer challenging solutions or answers.
