Joakim Ojanen

Joakim Ojanen (b. 1985, Västerås, Sweden) is a Stockholm-based artist who makes paintings and glazed ceramic sculptures populated by a personal universe of characters. Coming to art through graffiti, he studied at Konstfack in Stockholm before turning increasingly to clay. Blending humor with sincerity, his figures capture genuine moments of human expression and speak to a universal desire to belong.
