Gunhild Lorenzen – Artist

My work is a dialogue between the representational and the abstract, the mythical and the material. My paintings describe landscape, inspired by the untamed beauty of the Atlantic coastline and the pine trees behind the dunes. Earthy ochres, turquoise, blues, and luminous yellows create a contrasts that suggest both depth and movement—like wind shifting across the dunes or waves crushing into the sand.

I am equally drawn to us humans. Portraits, imagined faces and gestures want to be expressed through collages, drawings, paintings and superposed images.

There is an expressive energy that brings my subjects to life while leaving space for ambiguity and personal interpretation.
