Alethea Eriksson is a contemporary abstract artist. She paints gestural expressive works which celebrate the wonders of the seasons, the sky, water and painting itself. Her works are loose, lyrical, vibrant and evocative.
The artist grew up in South Africa where she studied art history. Since 1986 she has lived in Switzerland. After giving up full-time employment in 2012, Alethea has dedicated her time to painting. She has been exhibiting her work since 2017 in various group and solo shows in Switzerland, and more recently in Germany, UK and Romania. Her work sells internationally on-line so is in collections world-wide.
She is an active member of the Zurich branch of the Swiss Association of Women Artists.
"For me, painting is silent poetry.....My work is a celebration of the sense of well-being and freedom I experience in nature and while painting. The paintings themselves are an expression of emotion, an intuitive creative process and serendipity."
