Explore the Originals
The original artworks by Otto Lundbladh explore visual storytelling through contemporary composition and materiality. Each piece is developed using a modern collage technique, a digital evolution of the traditional French papiers collés (découpage), in which elements are digitally cut, disrupted, and reassembled into carefully balanced compositions.
Ethereal explores the fragile threshold between presence and dissolution, where identity appears fluid rather than fixed. The human face becomes a shifting surface, layered with translucent forms that both reveal and obscure, suggesting a self in constant negotiation with its surroundings.
Through subtle fragmentation and quiet tension, the work reflects the experience of inhabiting multiple versions of oneself at once. Ethereal invites the viewer to consider identity not as something solid and defined, but as something permeable, evolving, and continually becoming.
Crimson takes its name from the idea of a Crimson Sun, a fierce, internal red sun that reflects nature’s true and often overlooked color palette. The portrait confronts the viewer with judging eyes, holding a quiet intensity: a moment of calm before the storm. Muted tones dominate the composition, interrupted only by a sharp accent of deep, blood-red, deliberate, and unsettling.
The vision behind the work is simple and personal: to create a piece that the artist would hang on their own wall. This time, driven by a sense of curiosity and uncertainty, of not knowing exactly where, but knowing why.
Metamorphosis emerges from a sustained fascination with the human form, its fragility, its resilience, and its capacity for transformation. Through its strained posture and contorted musculature, the work confronts the emotional cost of reshaping oneself to fit into structures designed by others.
Ultimately, Metamorphosis is both a manifestation and a critique, an intimate portrayal of the individual caught in the relentless push and pull between selfhood and society. It holds up a mirror to the viewer, asking them to consider the ways they have been shaped, distorted, or refined by the worlds they inhabit.
Two-Faced is a striking original composition that explores the delicate boundary between who we are and who we are expected to be.
The palette, oscillating between muted tones and stark contrasts, deepens the emotional charge of the image. Shadow becomes an active participant, revealing and concealing in equal measure, while unexpected bursts of color break through like emotional truths slipping past carefully constructed façades. The resulting atmosphere is at once mesmerizing and disquieting: seductive in its beauty, yet profoundly reflective in its suggestions.
Two-Faced stands as a meditation on the dualities that define the human condition. It challenges the viewer to confront their own internal divide, the private self that seeks honesty, and the public self that seeks acceptance.
The Phases Serie →
The Phases Series is built on Otto Lundbladh’s belief that art should feel intuitive and inviting, not complicated. Each piece is crafted to engage the viewer both visually and intellectually, allowing for personal interpretation rather than imposing a predetermined meaning.
