Angelika Millmaker

I am a Norwegian artist, and the essence of my work is very much rooted in the colors and landscapes from Scandinavia and the traditional simple design of Nordic art. The difference between the cool, cold almost whitish blue winter landscape and the bright colors of summer is extremely inspiring to me, and many of my paintings are characterized by bold contracts between colors, textures, shapes and light. Although my paintings are never a direct translation of nature, it is possible to trace the pure white light of a winter day or the vibrancy of a flower in a variety of unexpected ways.

My work is contemporary abstract art ranging from big motives and bold colors to subtle, white washed images of a snowy pale winter day. A pink sunset, a rectangular pattern of land seen from above, or a delicate flower are examples of images which are blended together to create an abstract form of beauty. Departing from a single vision from nature my paintings try to show her inner mechanisms and vitality not represented by appearance, but by the emotions these visions create in the viewer.

Born in Bergen, Norway, Angelika Millmaker is a contemporary artist whose work is characterized by an abstract representation of organic forms. She uses...
