Aleksandra Jarlas is a Polish-Swedish artist, art educator, and curator based in Sweden. Her work intricately weaves folklore, mythology, and contemporary themes to critique societal norms around gender, sexuality, and identity, blending realism with fantasy to create layered narratives that explore female agency, bodily autonomy, and cultural heritage. Rooted in a rural Swedish environment and shaped by a rich multicultural background, her art exemplifies a transdisciplinary approach that merges historical, spiritual, and mythological elements to challenge objectifying narratives and elevate women's voices. Exhibiting widely across Sweden and internationally, her projects and residencies reflect a commitment to engaging with community, education, and cultural discourse, positioning her art as both a personal exploration and a broader commentary on societal transformation.

Aleksandra was born in Poland and received her MFA from The Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School at the University of Silesia in Katowice. She holds a Foundation Diploma in Architecture and Urban Design from The King's Foundation, a BA from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and an MA from Konstfack, the University of Arts, Crafts, and Design. Aleksandra received the Anna-Lisa Thomson Till Minne award in 2016, leading to a group show in 2017 at the Uppsala Konstmuseum and a solo show in 2018 at the Museum Anna Nordlander. Her work is part of several private and public collections, most notably those of the Swedish Arts Council, Uppsala Konstmuseum, Västerås Konstmuseum, and the Swedish Heritage Federation. Her recent solo exhibition includes "Aurora loving" at Galleri Svarta Gran (2025).
