About the artist

“The Source”
100×120 cm
Oil on canvas

Welcome.

My hope is that my art shall reach beyond the limitations of our physical senses and touch our inner being, our soul if you will. Colors are lightwaves, pure energy. I try to share my experience of how they affect me in my work.

I have had exhibitions across Europe and I tend to get the same reactions everywhere I go, viewers feels the energy from the paintings and connects with them in ways I didnt think was possible.
To meet viewers that feels the paintings and the energy in them, is a true blessing and the reason why I do my best to give an experience to the viewer that he hopefully wont forget.

So be my guest, enjoy your stay.

About me:
I am a renowned autodidact artist hailing from Trondheim Norway, and began my career as a hobby back in 1985.
Since then, I’ve had my artwork published and featured in many magazines and newspaper articles.

Exhibitions in 25 galleries across Norway alone, as well in other prominent cities such as Stockholm, Barcelona, Altea, Milano and Prague.
I have also done artwork for special projects for various firms and companies over the years, thats resulted in book productions, illustrations, design and decorations.

Many feel that my artwork is deeply spiritual, but I dont like to label my art, leaving the interpretation up to the viewer. I like to paint whatever comes through and want to be manifested on the canvas. My interests in colors made me study color teraphy to learn more about how the colors affects us in everyday life, and I try to use this knowledge in my artwork.
I do all my work from a personal studio located in the countryside just outside Trondheim, called Studio Laaven. I have my own gallery there, where I holds 3-4 exhibitions every year.

The painting fills the most of my days, working as a visual artist, I often takes my camera out in the nature to search for inspiration.
The drawing pad is always by my side and I never stop working with new ideas.
Working as an visual artist is more then a job, its a life.
Enjoy your stay here and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my art, classes, prices, exhibitions and private showings:
