Carmen Lindahl

Born in Spain in 1956, raised in Paris Carmen later moved to Sweden, then Luxemburg. There she had her first artistic schooling at l'Ecole des Beaux Arts, before moving back to Paris again. She was accepted at "Salon des Indépendants" in 1991 with a fruit portrait. 

Settling in Sweden in 1994 she continued with oil painting but learnt also to work with prints, Chinese ink, sculpture and watercolour. Exhibitions included galleries in Sweden, Spain and Greece. Having been admitted to the Swedish Artists' Association in 2001, she received the Members' own award in 2006 for a painting of a fantasy landscape. 

She represented the Nordic Watercolour Society at an exhibition in Italy with a Water Lilly motive and was chosen to participate at the City of Stockholm Art Gallery ("Liljevalchs") spring exhibition in 2009. 

This time she was showing a bronze sculpture group of candy mice. Her works have been acquired by several Swedish towns, private collectors and art associations. Since 2016 Carmen lives in Menton, France, where she has been influenced by new colours and motives. 

Like many artists that arrive in south France she was overwhelmed by the light and the luxuriant vegetation. Lately, she has exhibited in France, Monaco, Sweden, and, nowadays, online. This year, her works are scheduled to be shown in London and Paris. The objects are a series of oil paintings of Mediterranean flora.
