Frida Starvid Swedish, b. 1981
My work is centered around the human experience of constructed space, creating an encounter that is unfiltered, one where the piece speaks directly to our senses without intellectual mediation.
Frida Starvid is a trained architect with a Master’s Degree from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and a post-master from the Royal Institute of Art. She combines architectural training with artistic practice, participating in exhibitions, projects, and collaborations in Sweden and internationally, including several solo exhibitions and research projects at Stockholm University of the Arts.
Her work explores the intersection of architecture and sculpture, focusing on aesthetic principles and the body’s relationship to space. Key concepts include stereotomy and tectonics, mass and void, light and shadow, and weight and lightness, realized through large-scale painting and sculpture in concrete, plaster, stone, and bronze. Grounded in phenomenology, her work engages directly with materiality and the corporeal experience.
Starvid works from her studio at the artist collective Detroit Stockholm and is a member of Svenska Konstnärernas Förening (SKF) and Konstnärernas Kollektivverkstad (KKV). Upcoming exhibitions in 2025 include Glasets Hus in Limmared and GIPP Arkitektur in Stockholm.
