Artist (Textile Art)
Born unknown date

Ulrika Leander is a contemporary Swedish artist based in the United States. Born and raised in Sweden, Ulrika was immersed in the rich tradition of handwoven tapestry from an early age, sparking a lifelong passion for the art form. Her artistic journey began with formal training in Stockholm, culminating in the attainment of a Master's degree in fiber art and design from the HV’s College of Art and Design.

She draws inspiration from the emotional tapestry of her own life and the intricate forces, shapes, and colors found in the natural world. Her exploration of ideas takes shape through the medium of watercolor, with a keen awareness of the intricate transition required from the watercolor design to the expansive canvas of tapestry. The intensification of colors during this transposition process is a crucial aspect of her artistic expression.

In the weaving process, Ulrika skillfully blends multiple fine threads of varying thicknesses, achieving delicate variations in color tones reflective of the original watercolor design. Her work is distinguished by its remarkable handling of interactions and tensions between unusual and unexpected color groups, showcasing a mastery of the tapestry medium.

Ulrika's attraction to tapestry lies in its inherent complexity, demanding a seamless transition between mediums and highlighting the textural qualities unique to large-scale tapestries. Her fine-art tapestries have garnered widespread recognition, earning commissions for private collections as well as adorning corporate and public buildings in both the United States and Sweden. Ulrika Leander continues to leave an indelible mark on the art world with her distinctive and captivating tapestry creations.
