Bio:
Ester Wallin was a Swedish ceramic artist and sculptor associated with Upsala Ekeby in the mid-20th century. She is particularly known for decorative wall reliefs inspired by natural forms, where colour, relief and form are combined into a strong and often expressive visual language. During this period, Upsala Ekeby supported individual artistic expression, and Wallin’s reliefs are today considered among the rarer and more sought-after examples of Swedish studio ceramics.
