The latest works by Kristin Holm Dybvig are in! Ethereal and dreamlike paintings that capture the essence of nature, memory and imagination.
Her paintings are full of soft shapes, fluid lines and vibrant hues that blend together to form abstract landscapes and figures. Kristin Holm Dybvig says that her paintings are inspired by her own experiences and feelings, as well as by music, literature and poetry.She wants to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity in her viewers, and to invite them to explore their own inner worlds.
Kristin Holm Dybvig lives on the West Coast of Norway, close to fjords and mountains, on the edge of the North Sea. The colors of this beautiful ever-changing landscape form an endless source of inspiration for her work.
The artist prefers to create with dry pastels, working in an intuitive way, with her hands as tools for a more immediate approach. This results in works that emanate an ethereal feeling - a certain softness that one rarely encounters in other media.
Dybvig’s works are a vibrant exploration of the inherent luminosity and vitality of the colors surrounding her - the dialogues, movements and flow that affect their character and how to translate them into gestures, shapes, and lines.
The artist currently works and lives in Stravanger, Norway.
