The invisible people portrays the culture of the Kveni people, a people that became invisible in our society, and in many ways also invisible for the kvens themselves. The work is created with a coloristic approach, and some figuration, created by lines intertwining and crossing with one another. The motive is created using drypoint needle, and is hand printed in a press. The artwork is signed, visible beneath the passepartout. The work is unique, by the blue color. I have additionally made two variations of the same motive, in sienna colour. One is available. The other is privately owned.

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.
