Biography of Hilma af Klint

Hilma af Klint was born on October 26, 1862, in Solna, Sweden, as the daughter of a naval officer and grew up in affluent circumstances. After studying painting in Stockholm, she initially dedicated herself to naturalistic art and made a living by selling conventional landscapes and portraits.

However, at the age of 44, she made a radical break from conventional art and turned to an entirely new visual language. Her works became more abstract, more vibrant in color, and diverged from all known styles. As a member of a theosophical society, she began to engage deeply with metaphysical and occult themes. She was convinced that her paintings contained messages from a higher, invisible world, which she sought to make visible through colors, shapes, and symbols.

Yet her revolutionary ideas met with rejection. Unlike her earlier naturalistic works, she found no audience for her abstract art during her lifetime. Contemporary artists and critics either ignored or ridiculed her works. Frustrated by the lack of recognition and understanding of her art, she stipulated that her extensive oeuvre—around 1,000 paintings—should only be made public twenty years after her death. Hilma af Klint died on October 21, 1944, in Djursholm, leaving behind a body of work that was far ahead of its time.

It was not until the 1980s, through the initiative of her nephew Erik af Klint, that her artistic legacy was rediscovered. Art historians and theologians gained access to her paintings for the first time, which proved groundbreaking for modern art. It wasn't long before museums and galleries worldwide began to exhibit her works. Major retrospectives in Sweden, Venice, and New York honored her achievements, and a documentary film reconstructed her life and artistic vision.

Today, Hilma af Klint is regarded as one of the most significant artists of modern times. She was a pioneer of abstraction, whose work remained hidden for a long time and only received the recognition it deserved a century after its creation. As early as 1906, the Swedish artist painted the world's first abstract picture—long before Kandinsky or Mondrian. Her paintings, characterized by spirituality, intuition, and groundbreaking formal language, captivate art lovers worldwide and have profoundly changed the perspective on the development of modern art.
