Hand-signed, numbered

Mamma Andersson’s 'Mother's Day' is a 2013 etching that conveys a quiet, contemplative atmosphere through its depiction of a solitary landscape. The artwork presents a scene dominated by a forest, its trees receding into the distance, shrouded in a hazy mist. In the foreground stands a statue on a pedestal, its back turned to the viewer, adding an enigmatic presence to the scene. The statue appears to gaze into the wooded area, evoking themes of memory, reflection, and solitude. The earthy reddish-brown terrain contrasts with the muted greens of the trees, grounding the image and adding a sense of age and timelessness. Andersson’s use of space and muted tones create a tranquil yet slightly haunting atmosphere, inviting reflection on the passage of time and the quietude of nature.

Mamma Andersson (Sweden, 1962) is a renowned painter whose dreamlike works blend Nordic landscapes with domestic interiors. Drawing inspiration from folklore, theater, and 20th-century art, she uses muted tones and layered textures to evoke mystery and melancholy. Andersson’s work has been exhibited globally, solidifying her as a key figure in contemporary Scandinavian art.

If you think Rubens is crap, then don't bother with him.
- Mamma Andersson

Widely recognised for her pastoral, ethereal art, Mamma Anderson is a contemporary Swedish artist, inspired by her rural upbringing. Anderson’s most distinguishing trait throughout her work is arguably her incorporation of various other works by notable artists; Stairway to the Stars is perhaps her most notable work of this kind – the piece is comprised of an array of canvases, appearing to float upwards against a dark sky and mountains, and features works by Hopper, Monet, Gauguin and Manet. Anderson has cited John-Erik Franzen and Dick Bengtsson as major influences on her work, as well as her native roots – she stated: “My style follows a very Nordic painting tradition: landscapes, interiors, relationships, and dramas.” She is also particularly inspired by film and theater, often employing a stage-like setting for her works, a technique that she describes as ‘absurd’ but somehow still able to ‘buy into’.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
