Sigrid Holmwood (19 November 1978) is a British/Swedish artist known for paintings that integrate and examine historical art practices.

[1] She was educated at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford (BFA, 2000) and the Royal College of Art, London (MA in Painting, 2002).

[2] Her paintings are historical re-enactments of the work of a painter of peasant life, referencing sixteenth century genre-painting and nineteenth century impressionism.

[6][7] In line with her interest in historical accuracy and reenacting old techniques as part of her contemporary practice, she makes her own handmade paints according to historic recipes.

[7][8] Holmwood is known to use traditional materials and techniques in a playful manner, for instance combining fluorescent pigments with egg tempera.
