« I like to say that my paintings are memories of non-existent landscapes. »
Bjørnar Aaslund likens the process of beginning a painting to stepping into the white surface of untouched snow. The Norwegian artist's encounters with landscape and nature influence his art, which is processed and transformed, then reproduced as abstract forms of reality. Aaslund's compositions are emotional spaces built by layers of color – some transparent, others opaque – all forming the substance of the piece.
