Under the August full moon, "Lake Como" comes to life. Two souls share a simple feast, their laughter mingling with the gentle lapping of the lake’s waters. They’re not alone - the moon is a silent guest, casting silvery threads of light that dance on the water’s surface. It’s a scene of quiet beauty, where every bite, every smile, is a step away from solitude. In this painting, a feast isn’t just about food. It’s a moment where hearts are full, and the soul finds its song again. Amidst nature’s hush, "Lake Como" whispers a tale of a feast that lingers, not on the plate, but in the quiet spaces between two intertwined souls.
Linnea Moritz
Linnea Moritz is an artist working in the century-long practice of cubism; an art style specialized in capturing the true essence and energy of an object, scene, or person, rather than focusing on the physical representation as we see it.
Moritz’s process is iterative and calculative. Each triangle, circle and square is carefully composed into a harmonic composition, exploring depth, movement, and emotion. Her artwork invites the audience to stay a bit longer, and find a moment of peace amongst the lavender, ultramarine and viridian hues.

Linnea Moritz, born in 1997 in a serene Swedish village, is a dynamic cubist oil painter. Her artistic journey began at a young age under the guidance of her grandmother, an art teacher, and further excelled during her dedicated pursuit of Visual Arts studies at the United World College Red Cross Nordic in Norway.
Since 2014, Linnea has committed herself to the world of cubist oil painting, skillfully combining traditional techniques with contemporary ideas. Her work has been showcased in prestigious international exhibitions, including "Transcending Distances" at MM Fine Art Gallery in Southampton, USA, and prominently featured on a massive 70 x 20-meter screen at Art Basel Hong Kong's "The Sound of Pixels," curated by Art Innovation Gallery.
Linnea's artistic creations emerge from her subconscious, embodying a myriad of energies that evolve over time with new elements and perspectives. Her recent artistic exploration delves deeper into abstraction and the portrayal of energy. Her ambition is to pioneer a fresh form of cubism, one that encapsulates a four-dimensional reality on a 2D canvas. While her paintings have traditionally featured figures, bodies, and places, her latest pieces venture ever further into the realm of pure abstraction.
In Linnea's art, you'll find compositions that are deliberately distorted yet meticulously balanced, pushing the boundaries of traditional cubism. She uses bright colors from a bold palette, and her distorted yet balanced composition creates pieces that are humorous, emotional, sad, and have a life of their own.
Linnea Moritz's art has a captivating quality that goes beyond the canvas. As someone once said, 'Linnea's paintings make you want to stay with them”. Her ability to draw people into her creations, encouraging them to linger and explore the depths of her multidimensional art, is a testament to the profound impact of her cubist vision.
