Violet Polsangi

Violet Polsangi is a Norwegian-Iranian artist who mainly works with acrylic paint on canvas. Her paintings have a unique geometric style that combines both abstract and concrete elements.
Violet Polsangi was born in Tehran, Iran, and started to paint already as a child. As a teenager she was an apprenticed to several famous Persian artists, and as a 24-year-old, she was accepted to the biennial at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.
In 1993 Violet Polsangi moved to Oslo in Norway, where she has lived since. In Oslo she studied at Einar Granum Art College, and also studied to be a Teacher in Art and Design at Oslo University (Oslo Met).
Over the years Polsangi have developed the distinctive geometric style that combines the abstract and the concrete.
Although her paintings might be mainly abstract, they usually contain elements from both architecture and nature. Many of Polsangis works might be perceived as fictional sceneries, where elements from architecture and nature are used as theatrical backdrops beyond time and space. The absence of people in her motifs strengthen a mystical theatrical feeling, maybe before the performance or after the show has ended.
Polsangi usually work with strict geometrical shapes and control...
