"Hiding behind beauty" Painting

Madeline Riisfeldt, inspired by the personal and complex nature of the human psyche, captures the summits, depths, and mundane moments of our existence, creating a captivating tapestry of shared emotions, experiences, and expressions. In our lifelong pursuit of liberation from the pressures of everyday life, many explore a spectrum of solutions - from meditation to daydreaming - even imposing physical distance from the day-to-day. It is the desire to transcend limitations and live in escapism that guides her latest body of work. ‘Balmy Hallucinations’ visualises adolescent nostalgia, weaving together narratives of forgotten, transient moments somewhere between reality and a shimmering dream or trip. This journey leads through comforting, sun-drenched locations where warm fragrant breezes, glistening waters, and vibrant urban streets invite freedom and exploration. Riisfeldt’s portfolio includes acrylic and spray paint on canvas, murals, and oil paintings. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and she features in various private collections.
