City Jungle Print

Artist who lived in and explored other countries for decades after growing up in Norway. I am exploring the unknown... new nature, language and culture! My work is informed by my many moves and steep learning curves. The work is expressive, investigating emotion in an unfamiliar, strange or challenging situation. I also experiment with form and diverse media, from woodcarving to digital drawing and animation. My largest body of work is acrylic (paint on 2d or relief), and steel sculpture. BFA at national Art School, Sydney, major sculpture. Currently living in the US, and often residing in Sintra, Portugal. I have lived 20+ years in Norway, 10+ years in Sweden (more cities), 5+ years in Sydney, Australia, 5+ years in Madrid, Spain, months in Portugal and plan to live in the US 3-5 years. I took a pilot licence in Australia to be able to explore the continent. The trips resulted in a show called "Unknown Terrain" Quite some of the work is about "flying" or aerial views. http://www.ellstrom.eu
