Pia Ranslet was born and raised in Bornholm, Denmark, eldest daughter to Tulla Blomberg Ranslet and Arne Ranslet. Her brother is sculptor Paul Ranslet. After graduating from high school she registered at Copenhagen University, studying Art history. In 1976 she enrolled in Danmarks Designskole and after receiving her diploma proceeded studying at Konstfack University-college in Stockholm, while teaching art students. From 1980 to 1986 she studied art at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm, where she was granted several scholarships allowing her to study in India, New York City and Egypt. She continued teaching art at Bornholms Højskole and Thorstedlund Kunsthøjskolen in Frederikssund. [1] Ranslet is married and has three sons. [2]
Ranslet's work stretches between expressionism and realism. [3] [4] She paints in front of her motives, and is a classic portraitist. Her landscapes feature mostly Bornholm-countryside views. She has solo-exhibited in many European countries, including: Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Luxembourg, [5] France, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland. She is publicly represented in the Swedish National Art Council[ permanent dead link ] (Statens Konstråd), National Labour Market Board (Arbetsmarknadstyrelsen) and Swedish Employers Association (Arbetsgivareföreningen).[ citation needed ]

Hilma af Klint was a Swedish artist and mystic whose paintings are considered among the first abstract works known in Western art history. A considerable body of her work predates the first purely abstract compositions by Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian. She belonged to a group called "The Five", comprising a circle of women inspired by Theosophy, who shared a belief in the importance of trying to contact the so-called "High Masters"—often by way of séances. Her paintings, which sometimes resemble diagrams, were a visual representation of complex spiritual ideas.
Helen Galloway McNicoll was a Canadian impressionist painter. She was one of the most notable women artists in Canada in the early twentieth century and achieved considerable success during her decade-long career. McNicoll played an important role in popularizing Impressionism in Canada, at a time when it was still relatively unknown, with her lively representations of rural landscapes, intimate child subjects and modern female figures. She was elected to the Royal Society of British Artists in 1913 and was created an Associate of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1914.

Danish art is the visual arts produced in Denmark or by Danish artists. It goes back thousands of years with significant artifacts from the 2nd millennium BC, such as the Trundholm sun chariot. For many early periods, it is usually considered as part of the wider Nordic art of Scandinavia. Art from what is today Denmark forms part of the art of the Nordic Bronze Age, and then Norse and Viking art. Danish medieval painting is almost entirely known from church frescos such as those from the 16th-century artist known as the Elmelunde Master.

The Skagen Painters were a group of Scandinavian artists who gathered in the village of Skagen, the northernmost part of Denmark, from the late 1870s until the turn of the century. Skagen was a summer destination whose scenic nature, local milieu and social community attracted northern artists to paint en plein air, emulating the French Impressionists—though members of the Skagen colony were also influenced by Realist movements such as the Barbizon school. They broke away from the rather rigid traditions of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, espousing the latest trends that they had learned in Paris. Among the group were Anna and Michael Ancher, Peder Severin Krøyer, Holger Drachmann, Karl Madsen, Laurits Tuxen, Marie Krøyer, Carl Locher, Viggo Johansen and Thorvald Niss from Denmark, Oscar Björck and Johan Krouthén from Sweden, and Christian Krohg and Eilif Peterssen from Norway. The group gathered together regularly at the Brøndums Hotel.

Sigrid Sandström is a Swedish artist and a professor of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki. Her work is characterized by graphic abstraction, an embrace of color and difference in scale, and an array of techniques used to apply paint and other materials to canvas, ranging from cloths and rugs, to masking with tape, squeegee-ing and smearing, and collaging. She has also worked in film and video, most notably for her 2005 exhibition Her Black Flags at the Mills College Art Museum in Oakland, CA, and in sculpture and installation. Artforum critic Naomi Fry, reviewing a 2007 show at Edward Thorp Gallery, cited the artist's interest in landscape as subject and noted that Sandström "also grapples here with painting’s essential difficulty in the face of the sublime. As the works consistently teeter on the verge of abstraction, the interplay between a more traditional naturalism and geometric fragmentation provides a salient tension."
Ida Emma Charlotta Gisiko-Spärck (1859–1940) was a Swedish painter, who became a member of the Önningeby artists colony on Åland. She is remembered for her landscapes in oils.
