Lin Utzon is an artist who grew up drawing on the walls of early modernist interiors designed by her father Jorn Utzon. She has become known for her large-scale ceramic artworks that cover huge architectural facades in Gothenburg, California, New York, Sydney, and Madrid, as well as her Mallorcan and Japanese inspired paintings and sculptures.

 

Lin has a deep connection with Mallorca, which in her words is “a beautiful island with a rich culture and history, and with a magnificent nature.” Her family started to spend time on the island in the 60’s after moving from Australia, where her father was working on the famous Sydney Opera House. “My parents always had a great love for the Mediterranean part of the world, and had searched and found land in Mallorca where they subsequently built their first house.”
