Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
The painting displays an abstract landscape in yellow, red and orange, almost gold. The colors are vibrant and at the same time toned down, there are several lines and shapes in the motive creating figures, items and stories for the viewer. The painting communicates an inner horizon and invites to personal reflection. It was made on a board in Lofoten, Norway, in 2006, I finished it recently in 2015, laying a white border onto it, shaping the story. I have used different mediums, watercolor that has been worked with so long that it has been 'etched' into the plate, then some acrylic and oil. I used a bamboo pen working on the surface of the first layer leaving lines, other tools in combination with water have come to use to create the painted 'texture' that constitutes the motive in the painting. I will make a back frame for it, if wished for, with painted sides, so that it can be hung on to the wall as it is.

In a multidimensional world, art brings visibility to different viewpoints. As an artist with a minority background, I will present artistic expressions from the viewpoint of the Kveni people in the north of Norway. The Kvens as a people belongs to the cap of north, the kvens was originally situated in the north of Finland and Sweden, in Tornedalen and Bottenviken, and goes far back in our history, Many kvens lived in the north of Norway, and became a minority, with a different language and culture. The Kveni people experienced Norwegianizing in modern time, suppression from the government. Very few were to inherit their culture in modern time because of the suppression. I will try to understand what it means for a human being to loose identity and culture this way. I will also try to understand more deeply the historical roots of the Kveni people, like my grandmother, the last person in my line, to speak the Kveni language. Thematically, works are found within a conceptual tradition, or as representations of the stories of the Kveni people and their historical landscapes. This page will change as I start to bring forward new works, in line with the artistic statement.
