Kristin Holm Dybvig. Born and based in Stavanger, Norway.Trained as an art therapist at the Tobias School of Art in England (1993–1997), I spent many years working therapeutically with children and young people. This experience profoundly deepened my sensitivity to emotional and psychological nuance, a perspective that now underpins my artistic practice.
In recent years, I have worked exclusively with soft pastels, developing a poetic, ecological approach. Through dreamlike, liminal landscapes, I explore themes of memory, longing, and our quiet relationship with the natural world. My work moves beyond linear time; fluid landscapes and ancient natural forms connect brief human presence to a wider temporal continuum. The rhythms of nature carry traces of memory, inviting the viewer into a contemplative universe where stillness and balance allow the human perspective to rest within a larger, enduring ecological flow.
