Melanie Wiksell finds in death, an imagery that she wants to exploit and explore to its limits. She aims to distort life with surreal and uncanny elements and draws inspiration from the occult, rituals, the sublime, and mythologies. One of her central interest within these themes, is how people decorate pain.

After three years at The Glasgow School of Art, Melanie Wiksell will now be returning to Sweden to continue her education on the master’s programme at Umeå University, where she looks forward to further expand her artistic expression. Her goal with this programme is that it will help her strengthen the ways she demonstrates credibility in her expression and concept.
