Ingrid Kraiser

Ingrid Kraiser, born in Sweden in 1972, works at the intersection of photography and graphic design, creating a body of work that is as diverse as it is experimental. Her practice embraces renewal and unpredictability, with each series offering a fresh approach to form, symbolism, and perception.

With an international background that has taken her across multiple continents, Kraiser’s visual language is shaped by both global influences and an acute sensitivity to nuance. Her works often challenge perception, asking the viewer to reconsider what is familiar and to enter a space where recognition and discovery coexist.

Repetition plays a central role in her process – symbolic elements recur, reconfigured and layered into unexpected arrangements. Through this method, photographs shed their original context and emerge as entirely new compositions, both familiar and unforeseen.

The Story Behind the Work

Kraiser’s practice integrates photographic elements with layered visual motifs, transforming everyday subjects into striking new arrangements. Recurring symbols, repetition and inventive composition create dynamic rhythms that reward both close and distant observation. Her art blurs the boundary between documentation and interpretation, allowing familiar forms to be reimagined through the lens of conceptual inquiry.

Style and Vision

  • Experimental composition and inventive use of photographic elements
  • Layered motifs and symbolic repetition
  • A focus on perception, renewal and the reinterpretation of familiar subjects
  • A visual rhythm that balances abstraction with recognisable forms

Themes and Exploration

At the core of Kraiser’s art are questions of perception, transformation and visual narrative. She often deconstructs photographic contexts and reconfigures them into compositions that feel simultaneously familiar and entirely new. Through this approach, Kraiser engages with personal, cultural and symbolic themes, producing work that is intellectually stimulating and visually compelling.
