Biography

Lina Bou (b. 1988, Dalarna, Sweden) is an artist and cook based in France, working across painting, edible mediums, and wool. Her practice unfolds through visual works, gatherings and immersive works.

Trained in herbalism and journalism in Stockholm, she brings a sensibility attuned to observation, rhythm, and transformation. These foundations inform a practice shaped by attentive intuition, where materials are approached as living, shifting matter.

Drawing from natural environments and cultural contexts, she treats food and paint as parallel mediums—composing through texture, gesture, and seasonality. Her works often emerge through processes of accumulation, repetition, and subtle variation, guided by a quiet precision and a sensitivity to time and place.

Her projects take the form of exhibitions, performative gatherings, and site-specific commissions, each developed in close relation to its context. Alongside this, her ongoing work with wool extends her material language into tactile and time-based forms.

Lina Bou is the founder of Culinate Collective (Est. 2022), a collective creative culinary project developing workshop-based formats, and Ronia Terra (Est. 2019), an edition-based project focused on printed works and cyclical publications.
