Cornelia Öberg (b. 1993) Is an artist based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Her work revolves around textile materials and traditional craft techniques, exploring the stitch as a storyteller. Her imagery fosters an intimate dialogue between the human connection to nature, the touch of the maker’s hand and the depths of inner experience. The subtle emotional expressions are conveyed through the symbolism of nature and its animals.
Öberg is currently studying an MFA in Craft at HDK-Valand and she has exhibited her work at galleries such as Konstnärshuset, Konstepidemin, Galleri Axel, and Galleri Thomassen, and her art is represented in both private and public collections.
