About this artwork
This artwork inspired a profound emotional response in one of its viewer. The poet Marianne Skjemstad was so moved by the piece that she captured its essence in a powerful English poem. With the poet's permission, I am honored to share her words alongside the painting.
"He wears my blood"
Without shame he wears my blood
His presence, so intens it hurts to be near.
He is my brother, my father and my son.
His honesty burns himself and me. He walks… in
the forest leaving trees to burn.
Ashes to ashes - dust to dust.
He is a manifestation of God, and so are we.

Credentials
- Works on commission
As a former laywer I spent years working within the rigid structures of the written word. While language is essential for thoughts and communication, I discovered that words can also become overwelming, and limiting our expression. This realizasion led me to a profound career shift, completing a three year program in fine arts at Nydalen Artschool. Today I work with acrylic and charcoal on canvas, using the medium of painting to create a more subtle, multilayered space where words are no longer needed. My creative prosess is an existential journey; on the canvas I experience a visceral spectrum of chaos, anxiety, doubt, and pure happiness. Born and raised in Norway, my life and art are deeply informed by the uniquely Norwegian connection to the outdoors. Spending extensive time in the wild, nature is not just a subjekt matter for me, but a vital space for reflection and a fundamental part of my identity. Consequently, my work focuses on two central teams: natur and bond between human.
