The rugs by Swedish textile artist Barbro Nilsson (1899-1983) are often characterized by her strong sense of colours which she used in a picturesque way to create depth, contrast or interplay of different tonalities. She lived by the seaside and was inspired by nature, the ocean and the movement of the waves, and she continuously transformed her impressions of the surrounding nature into abstract motifs with an unmistakable Nordic sensibility.
