Elina Flyrin’s practice moves between textile, drawing and painting, creating imagery that feels both familiar and alien. Her work explores the porous boundaries between the physical and the intangible, the internal and the external, dissolving these borders into abstraction that gives form to sensations, memories and questions which often elude language.

Central to her practice is a contemplation of the body, its presence, its disappearance and the traces it leaves behind. Textile, with its density and weight, becomes a material through which she expresses the cyclical journey of life and death, the seen and the felt. Her imagery evokes a quiet otherworldliness, a visual space where the spiritual and corporeal are woven together. Through this, Flyrin invites viewers into a reflective encounter with the unknown aspects of existence.

Elina Flyrin (b. 1994) lives and works in Stockholm. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in textile art and craft at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design. She holds a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London (2016–2019), and previously studied sculpture at Dômen Art School, Gothenburg (2014–2016), as well as ceramics and sculpture at Nyckelviksskolan, Stockholm (2013–2014).
