Unni Toivola (b. 1991) based in Göteborg. Toivola’s artistic practice moves between painting, textiles, and sculpture, with a focus on materiality, repetition, and transformation. Her working method is intuitive and process-based, often beginning with fragmented sketches drawn in parts. Motifs reappear across media exploring how repetition changes both form and meaning.
