Jonna Ljósá, is an artist from the Faroe Islands, lives and works in Denmark. In her childhood Jonna was surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, which has led to many reflections, experiences, and emotions through her upbringing on the Faroe Islands. Growing up with the ocean, changing weather, nature, and the environment around her has formed her artistic language to a great extent.

In recent years, motherhood and childhood has also played a big part after becoming a mother herself. She explores themes and motifs from those worlds and where they combine and collide.

Jonna works with mixed media, often using recycled materials, chalk pastels and eco-paint.
