Meet Kristin

I live and work on the West coast of Norway with the North Sea at one side and Fjords on the other. These old landscapes surrounding me change daily and inspires me to convey my perceptions. Visualising the abundant beauty and vulnerability through the veil of time as I prefer to work from memories and to enhance the impressions by the vibrancy of colour.

My lyrical landscapes are not pictures of actual places, they are made from memories and could be called soulmoods, as they express emotions and a state of mind as much as a landscape.

The a abstracted impressions of a flower.

On one side the delicate and almost translucent petals and the awe inspiring beauty, on the other there’s the vulnerability and the short lifespan. This duality
