Katrine P Funderud

Katrine P. Funderud was born in 1968. She lives in Provence but was born and raised in the Oslo-fjord area. She has a master's degree in art history from the University of Provence, where she studied the XIX-century painters who came to work in the Mediterranean landscapes. Her love for nature stems from her childhood in the Norwegian countryside scenery, and it has become one of the primary sources of inspiration in her art. The Art History studies taught her about formal painting techniques that allowed her to compose abstract works.

Through the act of creation, Katrine P. Funderud captures the essence of a feeling, a stratum of truth, or the atmosphere of a moment. In large-scale oil paintings, she explores the tension between the dramatic northern landscapes and the colorful, sun-burned South.

Her objective is to paint what she is: a melting pot of acquisitions and experiences that make her a being of contradictions and harmony.

She exhibits her works in local and international shows, and her paintings are held in private collections in the USA, England, Monaco, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, and France.

Katrine F completed a Masters in Art History at the University of Aix en Provence and continued on to complete her Ph D. However a couple of years into her Ph D studies she decided to put un end to her research-program and pursue painting full-time. In art school (Atelier Buttner, Beaux Arts) she cultivated her passion for abstract painting mainly using oil-colors.
