Ingela Johansson

Ingela Johansson is the kind of artist who doesn’t simply decorate a room — she changes how it feels to be in it. A Swedish contemporary artist, she has exhibited internationally.

Her creative process is less about sitting neatly at a desk and more about moving between meditation, music and nature, following wherever the creative flow takes her. The result? Paintings that pulse with energy — shifting textures, bold colour combinations and materials that seem to have lived a life of their own before reaching the canvas.

Coffee stains, torn paper, charcoal, ink — nothing is off limits if it helps tell the story.

At the heart of Ingela Johansson’s work is a deep exploration of femininity. Her paintings honour the messy, the raw, the joyful and the unapologetically free. These are not artworks that politely whisper from a corner — they speak, sometimes loudly, about identity and truth.

Her path to becoming an artist has been anything but linear. From studying at The American College in London for Applied Arts, to art history at Sotheby’s and fashion design, Ingela’s diverse background can be felt in her art.

She has lived and worked as an artist in Singapore and Malaysia.

In 2020, she expanded her creative philosophy into print with Create to Flow — a book and card deck designed to help others unlock their own creative process without overthinking it.

Today, Ingela Johansson continues to create, exhibit and teach internationally, helping people reconnect with creativity — not to perform, but simply to be.

Ingela was born in Karlstad and moved back to Värmland in 2020.
