Camilla Moberg

Presentation

Galerie Maria Wettergren is pleased to announce the exhibition, Over The Rainbow, the first solo show of Finnish artist Camilla Moberg, which will take place at the gallery from March 8 to May 31st, 2025. The rainbow represents hope in many cultures, and Moberg’s large luminous sculptures, with their vibrant colors, radiate a particularly joyful beauty— despite their otherwise serious underlying message. Handcrafted in blown glass in Nuutajärvi, Finland’s oldest glassmaking village, Moberg’s sculptures reflect her thoughts on biodiversity and its preservation. Their totem-like structure is inspired by the stacking of natural stones observed throughout history and across various cultures, symbolizing unity and the connection between humans and nature.
The different glass elements in her sculptures feature intricate patterns inspired by the colors and patterns of insects and birds, such as beetles, dragonflies and owls. By transposing and enlarging these patterns into abstract glass forms, the artist highlights their extraordinary beauty while also emphasizing the threats facing certain animal species. Moberg is fascinated by the colors, shapes and functions of these little creatures, which are not only stunningly beautiful but also vital members of our ecosystem. Through her art, she seeks to remind us of nature’s splendor and its essential role, a theme also reflected in the subtitle she has given to her works: Messengers in Glass.
