ULRICA HYDMAN VALLIEN 1938-2018 The 21st of March 2018, Ulrica Hydman Vallien left us. With great gratitude, we can look back on all the years that Ulrica formed Kosta Boda. Her way of expressing herself in glass and painting has become a signum for us. She was the embodiment of Swedish glass art. No Swedish artist could have claimed anywhere near the popularity of Ulrica Hydman Vallien. Whether collection or one-of-a-kind pieces, she placed the same passion into every work of her hands. With motifs from the innermost corners of human life, she has created a narrative glass art form with feminist and Biblical touches, alongside her utility glass. Tulips and snakes gure repeatedly in her own Paradise works. Assertive, controversial, beloved.
