“One can say that her pictures can give esthetic nourishment to the material of graphic art´s many possibilities. Experimenting with cut out forms, relief and different structures, Warme’s art performs at a strong personal level towards the distinct character of the white sheet of paper.

Per Olov Larsson

“I work with pictures within the circle of life, a plant´s power of growth, and a human´s condition of living, often formulated as the meeting of both form and content.”

Catharina Warme Hellström
