Biography

Pia Stjärnvind is a visual artist based in Stockholm, working with sculpture, installation, sound and spatial explorations. She graduated from the Ceramics and Glass department at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design, Stockholm. Her practice moves across material and immaterial dimensions, where time, memory, and the thresholds of existence become tangible through form and space.

Before dedicating herself fully to the visual arts, Stjärnvind built a distinguished career as Head of Communications at two of Sweden’s major theatres, and she has a longstanding background as a musician within the black metal scene. This multifaceted experience informs her artistic practice, where darkness and resonance, silence and matter, converge into poetic and existential investigations.

Artist Statement

I work with the material traces of time, memory, and space. My practice unfolds as an attempt to sense what it means to exist in different points of rupture. Through both traditional and new techniques, I investigate contemporary and timeless questions of time and memory, the body and the spirit, trauma and consolation, childhood and adulthood. It is within these fragile borderlands of existence that my work takes shape.

I think of my work as a physical poetry.
