About

“Nature is full of shapes just waiting to be found.”

Catrin Schmeer’s images are an attempt to capture the magic of nature.
The journey begins in deep forests, among dark lakes and mossy hills, drawing inspiration from folk tales and historical ornamentation such as kurbits and Art Nouveau. Shapes from nature are mirrored and combined into new constellations and visual rhythms—sometimes forming symbols, sometimes unfolding as scenes from a hidden story.

Transparent layers of texture—moss, stone, and earth—are added on top of the image. Through this process, the works slowly weave themselves into a unique atmosphere, like a story quietly lurking in the woods. Each piece is a collage of photographs, digitally processed and then printed on paper, wood, or glass.

Catrin was trained in traditional printmaking at Grafikskolan i Stockholm and has worked as an illustrator and pattern designer in the textile and fashion industry.
In 2025, she is developing a project at Konstfack titled "A Leaf That Grows on Planet Earth."
