Barbara D’Angelo Månsson is an Italian-Swedish visual artist based in Sweden. Originally trained as a molecular biologist, she worked for many years in scientific research before developing an artistic practice that investigates systems, instability, and transformation through abstraction.
Working with acrylic, charcoal, drawing media, and textile elements, she creates layered compositions in which thread functions simultaneously as line, connection, interruption, and repair. Cuts, ruptures, and stitched interventions are not added details but structural components of the work, revealing processes of construction and reconstruction within the image.
Her recent series explore how identities, relationships, and social structures are formed, challenged, and reconfigured. Influenced by both scientific observation and material experimentation, her practice embraces uncertainty, allowing tension and fragility to remain visible rather than resolved.
D’Angelo Månsson has exhibited internationally in Sweden, Italy, Germany, Denmark, France, and USA. Her work has been recognized through international awards, residencies, and exhibitions, and continues to evolve through an ongoing investigation of thread as both a physical material and a conceptual tool.
