C
a m i l l a Fransrud is a Norwegian artist. Born in Oslo in 1974, she moved to Trondheim, the heart of Norway, at the age of twenty and has lived there for twenty-seven years. She has three adult children, and family means a lot to her. Ever since childhood, she has had a profound and unique passion for photography, which she is self-taught. As a seven-year-old, she owned her first camera, and she could stand at the beach for hours to capture the perfect moment. As a result, she is strongly connected to the ocean, where she today also has her day job.
Through her love for photographic art, she discovered her passion for painting. She started painting in 2017 and paints on canvas with acrylic, mixing her colors. In addition, she uses chalk, a palette knife, various textures, and mixed media to create depth in her paintings. She is also self-taught in this artform and has had three separate exhibitions in Trondheim. She attempts to evoke in her art that you can feel the painting at your fingertips, sense it, not only look at it. To her, the process of painting is just as essential as breathing. "Let me give you one breath, one moment of poetic stillness," she says. Working intuitively with colors, she derives inspiration from the northern light. She wants to give you a space to dwell in, a place to enjoy and be. To her, it is essential to paint with the heart, and her expression is both abstract and figurative. She desires to touch your heart via her paintings so that you can feel and create your dreams through the feel in gs she attempts to convey in paintings. "You do not capture a picture; you create one. So let us create a beautiful world together".
