Swedish artist Daniel Nyström's work constantly straddles the boundaries of contemporary art, design, architecture and textiles. Far from being problematic, Nyström has used the ambiguity and intangible boundaries of these disciplines to produce work that can encompass a wide number of audiences and heritages, even questioning the limits of contemporary society itself. When Nystrom works, he enters a meditative state. He starts with an idea and tries to transform it with his hands, which allows him to connect with himself. That is why he does not believe in the concept of time because, for him, the measure of time is the extension of the work.

His body of work, instead of being geographically or contextually definable, is marked by a deeply general human characteristic: experimentation. The use of fire, almost transversal in his artistic career, has a component of universality like no other. The gathering of an enormous diversity of materials converge in his pieces, with the sensitivity to incorporate techniques from certain regions and communities - such as Colombian techniques of weaving with virgin wool, for example - generates that his work results in two simultaneous elements: the local, in its technique, but profoundly universal, in its essence.

Nyström approaches communities, understands them and learns from them through observation. His memory is connected to his hands, which learn quickly. He is not interested in copying what the artisans do; on the contrary, he is interested in understanding how they do it and the origin of each of the practices. This artist found in Colombia's craft traditions an unexpected richness to incorporate into his artistic work.

"I am aware that there are categories: art is one thing, architecture another, interior design a different one and fashion yet another. But for me, the space of creativity is one. One that manifests itself through different structures. Every piece I make is unique and a work of art. You can purchase one of my hats and if it doesn't fit you, you can hang it as an exhibition piece."
