Hi and welcome to my studio!

My name is Kirsi Hallberg and I am a 47 year old self-taught figurative painter from Sweden.

My art is characterized above all by strong and emotional female portraits. The essence in all of my paintings is capturing and conveying the emotion. I am also inspired by the harmony between light and dark and I just love how small changes in value can make shapes appear on the canvas.

My latest works are painted in oil, but I also work with acrylic, pencil, charcoal, and ink. I do not want to limit myself to any medium, I let the motive and the feeling decide which medium to use.

My biggest hope is that by doing what I love and putting it out into the world, it will evoke something in someone. And in the best of worlds even maybe inspire, even if just one person, to dare to follow the voice of their heart. 

I am so glad that you found your way to my page and I hope that find something here that brings you joy or inspires you! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you just want to say hi!

​Lots of love ♥
Kirsi
