Artist Statement (Maximum 100 words – ONLY ABOUT YOUR ART WORK:
Ingrid Solesvik from Norway is exploring the relationship between form and the human presence in contrast to the airy atmosphere of an abstracted landscape. The results is a subtle painting with a stillness verging on the meditative. The figure is symbolic of a universal thought – of the state of being as something larger than human existence itself. Referencing  the existential philosophy of Kierkegaard and the condition of existence of the individual enshrined within thoughts, emotions, actions and responsibilities.  Intention: deep gratitude for life itself and to value our individual journeys along the way.
