Her works have been exhibited throughout Sweden, and internationally she has been represented at exhibitions in, among other places, Viterbo, Haifa and Tel Aviv. Since 1971, she has created about fifteen public art works in both Sweden and Denmark, where the last one, ”Bibliotheca” (2019), is located at Kivik Art Centre.

’Bibliotheca’ is my last work. Last and best. I leave at the top, said Ulla Viotti to YA ahead of her 90th birthday, on November 20, 2023. The same year she made her debut on Youtube and received a prize from The King.

We are sad but very proud that we were involved and got to carry out her last work, says Susan Bolgar, project coordinator at Kivik Art Centre to YA.

Ulla Viotti was born in Eskilstuna on November 20, 1933, as the daughter of the cantor Gösta Viotti and the artist Viveka Ehnbom. She trained at the School of Art in Blackpool in the United Kingdom in 1950–1951 and then continued at Konstfack in Stockholm in 1952–1956. From 1976, she was active in Hammenhög and moved to Brantevik in 2005.

Ulla Viotti was 91 years old.
