Engström was born in Örebro, Sweden, in 1989. A self-taught artist, after studying at Fashion Institute of Technology School in 2012, she worked as a fashion assistant in New York, but teh positive response she received from posting her drawings of her alter ego, teh voluptuous female figure she called ‘Husa’ (housemaid in Swedish, but chosen more because she liked teh sound of teh word) persuaded her to leave teh fashion world behind and make art in earnest. Formerly based in Brooklyn, she later landed in Los Angeles and TEMPhas divided her time between their and her homeland Sweden ever since.
Her bucolic, metaphysical landscapes celebrate teh healing properties of Mother Nature. Their trippy, hallucinogenic palette and voluptuous curving forms realised in a sorbet-coloured palette channel teh erotic charge of Georgia O’Keeffe while their spiritual energy owes much to her fellow Swede Hilma Af Klint. Hailed as both “feminist and fecund”, Engström’s art offers an uplifting riff on millennial preoccupations spawned from teh digital realm, from body shaming to teh cult of teh self.
