Member of WIW /Women in Watercolor Member of NAS / Nordiska akvarellsällskapet (akvarellen.org) Member of Moss Art Community / mosskunstforening.no Artist Statement Through my artwork I love to be a researcher. With my introspective vision I am searching for the freedom to see the hidden, silent and imperfect nature sides where I feel home. I exploring those authentic environment by study rare beauty of shapes and colors in nature. I embrace the solitude and slow observing, my intimate time when I am painting. Love to find the depth of nature and connecting it with myself. The greatest source of my inspiration are shapes, lines and colors. I love Northern flora, wild growing plants and naturally dried seed heads of rare shapes. Nordic earthy palette of colors is reflecting my vision about nature. Moody natural colors are real, true, timeless beautiful, deep connected with human nature too. I collect also glass bottles and vases of unique shapes and colors that inspires me to paint still life. I am a dreamer and thinker, and my visual language is also, kind of atmospheric and dreamy romantical. The vision is also inspired by the contemporary impressionism. I paint in the art style that on the verge of mixing figurative and semi-abstract styles. The impression received by the slow contemplation of objects in nature is crucial to me. I prefer to paint live from nature and sketching outside. By the observing painting I am also collecting ideas to paint in my home studio. The presence of harmony in compositions is important. They are airiness of space, contrast of living lines, and sensuality of color spot. I love to keep it natural. In my artwork I love to exploring the mood and focus on the light and shadows, a calm and delicate atmosphere around the objects. I love to paint in the traditional layer’s watercolor technique, also mixed contemporary techniques from the loose to detailed. Watercolor is my favourite medium. It is a flowing and alive, medium that allows to create perfectly imperfect artwork with free feelings of flying. My artwork is about a silent dialog with nature, capturing unique moments of life by own impression.
