About the Item
A rare and expressive ceramic wall relief by Swedish artist Eva Hellbom. This handmade piece features bold, abstract shapes in rich deep blue, forest green, burgundy, and plum tones, set against a textured grey background. The surface is sculpted in low relief and decorated with a mix of glazes and matte finishes, giving it a vivid yet weathered look.
The relief is signed on the back with Hellbom's distinctive eye motif and "EVA" signature. Likely made in the 1970s, it captures a moment in Nordic studio ceramics where artistic wall pieces blurred the line between craft and contemporary art. The composition suggests stylised birds or fish, rendered with graphic strength and mythic undertones.
A one-of-a-kind collectible for fans of Nordic ceramics and folk-inspired modernism.

NOTE ON THE ARTIST:
Eva Hellbom is a Swedish ceramicist known for her highly stylised decorative work and distinctive use of color and texture. Her hand-built wall pieces often reference nature and Nordic folk art while pushing into more abstract territory. Though not widely known internationally, her work is prized by collectors of Scandinavian mid-century and studio ceramics.
