About
Linnea Strid is a Swedish artist born in 1983 in Grängesberg, a small village in Sweden. She grew up as an only child, encouraged by her parents in creative pursuits, and spent much of her time drawing and painting. At age 16, she moved with her family to Fuengirola in southern Spain, where her passion for art blossomed, leading to her first exhibitions and a solo show at age 19. She returned to Sweden around 2004, studied at art schools including Gävle Konstskola for four years, and has since worked full-time as an artist, building a career through galleries worldwide.
