Ulrica Hydman Vallien was the embodiment of Swedish glass art. No living Swedish artist could have claimed anywhere near the popularity of Ulrica Hydman Vallien. Whether the collection of one-of-a-kind pieces, she placed the same passion into every work of her hands. With motifs from the innermost corners of human life, she has created a narrative glass art form with feminist and Biblical touches, alongside her utility glass. Tulips and snakes figure repeatedly in her own Paradise works. Assertive, controversial, beloved.
A trip to Mexico inspired the name of Caramba! It’s a powerful word that contributes to the impact of the black paintwork. It works in many contexts as a piece of art in itself, but also as a bowl for fruit or vase for flowers. Mouthblown and hand painted at Kosta Glassworks.
