Eivindsdotter is a Swedish artist who paints portraits in acrylics and epoxy. Her art is transformed into unique crafts through precision and patience, where each motif is produced only once.
Epoxy is commonly used for flooring and sealing boats and when reacted with hardeners, the material forms a strong, durable substance used in a variety of industrial applications. It is a relatively new medium in the art world, where figurative motifs are still uncommon.
My art is created with epoxy, which is a liquid medium primarily used for flooring
Through various experiments, Eivindsdotter has found her technique, which continues to develop. The tools used to create epoxy motifs are various dropper bottles and spatulas, as the material is not suitable for brushes. Each epoxy layer needs about 30 hours to cure, which gives the motifs a unique expression, much depending on temperature and consistency. If you’re looking for new and exciting art -this is it.

“Art is a multifaceted phenomenon, serving as a reflection of our innermost emotions and the world around us. By transcending languages and cultures, art becomes an invaluable asset in fostering unity and peace. Art is not just an expression of emotion but also a medium for communicating ideas. It can act as therapeutic relief, a conduit for self-expression, or simply a way to appreciate life’s beauty. Through art, we can chronicle history, embody societal values, and comment on political or social events.
I hope you will enjoy it.”
