Galina Lorentzen

Nature is my primary source of inspiration, providing a rich tapestry of forms, textures, colors, flora, and fauna that inform and enliven my work.

My focus is on capturing patterns, often at a macro level, with gentle transitions and a broad, vibrant color palette that reflects the natural world. I use colors, forms, lines, and my imagination to evoke associations and feelings of balance, joy, and inner wholeness.

I work with a diverse range of media and techniques, including watercolor, pastel, and art glass. However, I am particularly drawn to batik on silk for its unique qualities of airiness, flow, and transparency. Silk's resemblance to flower petals or butterfly wings mirrors the beauty and complexity of the natural world, which inspires me deeply.

In recent years, I have combined my passion for art with my role as an art therapist in the municipality of Stavanger, where I help women and children facing difficult life situations to find peace, balance, and creativity. I hold a 5-year degree in Clothing and Textile Design from the Academy of Industrial Design in St. Petersburg, which provides me with a strong foundation for my work.

I am driven by a desire to capture the magic and wonder of the natural world and share it ...
