Artist Name: Birgit Skiold

Title: Birgit Skiøld: Reflecting Water – A Rare Limited Edition Art Etching from 1970.

Immerse yourself in the artistic brilliance of Birgit Skiøld, a Swedish artist, printmaker, painter, and photographer who left an indelible mark on the world of art. While renowned as an internationally recognized Grand Prize winner for printmaking, Skiøld’s own artistic journey transcends accolades. Her visionary contributions to British printmaking began in the 1950s when she founded one of the pioneering printmaking workshops in Britain. Notably, Skiøld was also a founding member of the prestigious UK Printmakers Council in 1965.

However, it is Skiøld’s work itself that truly captivates. Current reviews laud her original prints as “freshly abstract and mysteriously simple,” offering a welcome respite for weary eyes in an age of visual saturation. This formal simplicity embodies the essence of Skiøld’s artistic talent, showcasing her ability to evoke profound emotions through minimalistic aesthetics.

One of Skiøld’s rare and limited edition art etchings, “Reflecting Water,” stands as a testament to her artistic mastery. Created in 1970, this signed original piece invites viewers into a world where water becomes a metaphorical mirror of the soul. With every stroke of the etching, Skiøld captures the elusive beauty and tranquility of reflections dancing upon the water’s surface.

But she herself was also a well-regarded Swedish woman artist, printmaker, painter and photographer well ahead of her time. She played a significant and lasting role in the development of British printmaking beginning in the 1950s when she founded of one of the first printmaking workshops in Britain. Later Skiøld was a founding member of the UK Printmakers Council (1965).

Her original prints according to current reviews, ‘are freshly abstract and mysteriously simple.’ This formal simplicity is quite welcome to eyes made weary by the age of visual saturation. Herein lies the essence of Skiold’s artistic talent.

Her fine etchings are now included in many major public collections in Britain, Europe and the United States.
