Gunilla Maria Åkesson Ceramics

Gunilla Maria Åkesson

Born in 1963 in Älghult, Sweden, Gunilla Maria Åkesson was educated at the National College of Art, Craft and Design, Bergen (currently UIB Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, KMD) Norway, from 1987 to 1992, specializing in the Department of Ceramics. She resided in Norway until 2009 before relocating to Komstad, Österlen, Sweden, where she currently lives.

Åkesson’s chosen medium is clay, which she uses to construct distinctive objects. Since 2013, she has focused on the cylinder-shaped Vessel as her primary artistic theme and continues to explore and expand upon this theme.

Throughout her entire career, she has participated in exhibitions worldwide. Her work has been featured multiple times at the Art & Craft Fair at COLLECT, London, since 2013. Noteworthy accolades include a nomination for the Loewe Craft Prize 2018 and the Officine Saffi Award 4 in Milan, Italy, in 2021. She also had the opportunity to attend the Korean World Ceramic Biennale in Icheon in 2003 and 2009.

Åkesson’s works have been acquired by esteemed institutions such as the Swedish Arts Council, Stockholm, Ystad Art Museum, Malmö Art Museum, and the Swedish Parliament in Stockholm. In Norway, her works have been collected by The Norwegian National Collections, including The National Museum in Oslo, the National Museum of Decorative Arts and Design in Trondheim, and KODE Museums in Bergen, as well as the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sørlandets Museum of Art in Kristiansand, and Sogn og Fjordane Museum of Art in Førde. Additionally, her creations can be found in various private collections across the globe.

In 2021, Gunilla Maria Åkesson joined the International Academy of Ceramics (IAC).
