Representation of artist Maria Bordeanu in the Nordic Countries

This new representation marks a milestone in expanding Bordeanu’s international presence, introducing her distinct practice to a broader audience of institutions and collectors across the region. The expansion is done in close coordination with 418 GALLERY (Romania), which will continue to exclusively represent the artist in Central and Eastern Europe.

"I am thrilled to join Gallery LUNDBERG-SANDHAGEN for my representation across the Nordics ," states Maria Bordeanu. “This partnership opens up vital new dialogues for my paintings. I feel a genuine alignment in how we think about art and its role in shaping cultural dialogue. Having the shared support of both 418 GALLERY and Gallery LUNDBERG-SANDHAGEN gives me a strong, collaborative foundation to scale my practice across Europe and the Nordic contemporary art scene."

"We have followed Maria Bordeanu’s career with immense admiration," says Marie Lundberg, Founder & Director of Gallery LUNDBERG-SANDHAGEN. "Her profound approach to contemporary painting resonates deeply with our gallery’s vision. Collaborating alongside 418 GALLERY allows us to introduce her exceptional work to a new audience of collectors and institutions in the Nordic countries."

Comment from Antonella Grevers, 418 GALLERY:
"We are delighted that Maria is now represented by Galleri LUNDBERG-SANDHAGEN in the Nordic countries and are looking forward to seeing her work reach a new audience. It has been a privilege to work with Maria since 2013, and we have greatly enjoyed accompanying her artistic journey over the years. We continue to admire her work and are excited to see how her career develops in the future.”
