Kosta Boda - Ulrica Hydman-Vallien

Unfettered artist, powerful primitivist and nature lover

Ulrica Hydman-Vallien is one of our most popular Swedish artists. Her personal, primitive imagery with an ingenious sense of colour can be seen everywhere from the British Airways air fleet to Ericsson mobile phones to textile and glass exhibits worldwide. “Images are my form of expression,” says Ulrica Hydman-Vallien. Her characteristic women’s faces, lively tulips and slithering snakes have resulted in several unforgettable glass series for Kosta Boda. Forty glass painters work in the production of her glass.
