Ebba Gustafsson Ågren is a Malmö-based multidisciplinary artist, comic creator, and visual communicator. She lives and works in Malmö, Sweden.
Over the past three years, Ebba has concentrated on comics and self-publication. Her narratives and visual worlds navigate the intersection of fantasy and reality, where warmth meets darkness.
Before turning her attention to comics, her work was rooted in music, photography, and video production. She has performed in bands, released her own music, and developed hybrid projects that intertwine sound and imagery. Additionally, she founded a record label and worked commercially as a photographer, visual communicator, video producer, and media educator.
Recurring themes in her work include identity, inner worlds, and the experience of feeling different. Ebba has a strong interest in craftsmanship, utilizing techniques like paper construction, risography, collage, sewing, and crochet to add texture to her pieces. Her work has been featured in publications such as Pondus and C’est Bon Anthology, highlighting her ability to blend visual art with narrative depth.
Ebba holds a BA in Visual Communication from Malmö University (2014-2018) and has taken courses at Malmö University (2020) and Serieskolan (2022-2023).
Since 2016, she has been working freelance.
She is also working part time as a communicator at the Malmö-based riso studio Mori Press as well as Se Din Konst - a project focusing on recognising and showcasing children’s art in the public space.
