Josefina Anjou (Sweden, 1993) is an artist who intends to spawn images from an inner place out of this world, to undo dualism and binary divisions of subject/object, nature/nurture, science/fiction by pointing at the things that are both. She considers herself a co-creator, one of many agents in a series of spooky actions manifesting her work. Her main medium is oil painting which more often than not exceeds the two–dimensional frame by the use of sculptural elements. She graduated from The Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2019. Currently she is studying Master of Fine Arts at Konstfack, Stockholm
