Through hybrid figurative forms and shifting symbolic imagery, she creates works that resist fixed interpretation, balancing tension, vulnerability and instability. Her paintings inhabit fluid territories where distinctions between nature and culture, shelter and exposure, and stability and dissolution become increasingly uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheander describes her work as an attempt to tame and contain the wild and uncanny — constructing spaces in which emotional states that evade easy categorisation can exist within controlled frameworks. Her paintings function like psychological landscapes or “mental safaris”, where untamed forces are given temporary form and rest. Through this interplay between control and surrender, the works evoke fragile interior worlds shaped by transformation, ambiguity and unease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe studied Fine Art at the Berlin University of the Arts between 2006 and 2011 under Valérie Favre, before becoming a master student there from 2011 to 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected solo exhibitions include \u003cem\u003eCronenberg’s Garden\u003c\/em\u003e (duo with Aline Schwörer) at SomoS (2025); \u003cem\u003eÀ la source\u003c\/em\u003e (duo with Maldo Nollimerg) at Galerie DYS (2023); \u003cem\u003eBaltic Sea \u0026amp; More\u003c\/em\u003e (duo with Eglé Vismanté) at Espace à Vendre (2022); \u003cem\u003eFeed Your Demons\u003c\/em\u003e at Framed (2021); \u003cem\u003eVivid Vacation\u003c\/em\u003e at Hoorn \u0026amp; Reniers (2019); and \u003cem\u003eA Pit Full of Ghosts\u003c\/em\u003e at Galerie DYS (2018).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected group exhibitions include \u003cem\u003eEcho\u003c\/em\u003e at Dorothea Konwiarz Stiftung (2025); \u003cem\u003eHopscotch\u003c\/em\u003e at Bonian Space (2024); \u003cem\u003eThe Winter Auction\u003c\/em\u003e with Art on a Postcard (2024); \u003cem\u003eSummer of the Snake\u003c\/em\u003e at Galerie DYS (2024); \u003cem\u003eDream Keepers\u003c\/em\u003e at Galeria Szydlowski (2024); \u003cem\u003eLuxembourg Art Week\u003c\/em\u003e with Galerie DYS (2022); and \u003cem\u003eDoing Identity – Die Sammlung Reydan Weiss\u003c\/em\u003e at Kunstmuseum Bochum (2017–2018).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer awards and residencies include runner-up in the Jackson's Art Prize, winner of the Delphian Open Call, a grant from the Dorothea Konwiarz Stiftung (2014–2015), and a six-month residency at Platoon Kunsthalle in 2010.
