​Klara Hedener is a Swedish sculptor based in Italy. With a background in artistic jewellery, she merges organic materials with geometric forms, embracing the opportunities of natural imperfections. 

​

Klara has a degree in artistic jewellery from Escola Massana in Barcelona and has exhibited her work in Spain, Sweden, Denmark and Japan.

Working with driftwood and found wood, her work explores the relationship between discarded materials and our perception of value, challenging the idea of disposability. Though geometric and clean, her sculptures possess a hint of playfulness and humour, reflecting one of the most beautiful qualities we humans have.

During her residency, she will explore recurring themes in the city’s landscape: geometry, symbols, and shapes,  extending these into her ongoing project “Temporary Traces”, which seeks to challenge conventional notions of value while embracing impermanence. She is especially interested in the Katsuga Primaeval forest and finding inspiration in the connection between nature and the sacred.
