I’M A NORWEGIAN ARTIST CREATING CONTEMPORARY ART

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt a deep need for creative expression

From an early age, I could often be found with crayons, pen and paper, completely absorbed in my own little world.

I’ve always needed a place to make sense of what I feel, notice and experience. For me, art has always been my way of processing. It helps me pause, reflect and reconnect

My work moves between mediums, materials and ways of seeing. I’m inspired by nature, organic forms, rhythms and the landscapes within

I studied Graphic Design and later completed a two year program in Visual Arts. I then worked professionally as a graphic designer for several years, and that background continues to shape how I think about composition, color and the relationship between art and space.

Today, I combine my background in design with traditional painting and drawing, allowing me to explore ideas through both analogue and digital processes

I believe art should become part of the atmosphere rather than simply decorate a wall

I’m interested in what happens when art becomes part of the atmosphere around us. How a shape, a color or a quiet rhythm can change the way a space feels, and perhaps even the way we feel within it.

Every collection begins in my own life. Inspired by nature, experiences, emotions and the questions I’m living with, each artwork becomes an invitation to find something of yourself within. Nature has always been a place where I find strength, perspective and space to breathe

Art is one of the few places in my life where things have made sense

MAKING SENSE ART IS MORE THAN A NAME

Through my work, I explore the connection between art, the spaces we live in and the landscapes within us. Making Sense is a way for me to pause, reflect and make sense of the things I experience, often through nature, color, form and movement.

What I create is deeply personal, but I don’t believe the meaning has to be. I want there to be room for you to bring your own experiences, thoughts and feelings into the work.

Thank you for being here and for making room for my work in your world.

Warm wishes,
Marita

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT MY JOURNEY

Over the years, my work has been shown in exhibitions and different art spaces, including a graduation exhibition at Asker Kunstfagskole. I have never actively pursued exhibitions. My focus has always been on the work itself, allowing the ideas, materials and process to develop in their own time
