Artist Statement

I am an abstract painter. I was born and live in Norway, but have for some years been abroad to take my education in art. I finished MA in Fine Art in London 2020. My interests are colour and geometry, but also architecture and sculpture interest me. I often paint feelings and compare my paintings to composing music. Painting is my language.
