Rita Slotterøy
An artist born and raised on an island in the west coast of
Norway, She is inspired by the Nordic landscape. The wonders
and phenomenon, rapid change of seasons, aurora borealis
and Viking remains. Her paintings tell these stories in new
ways. Living and working in and between Northern Europe
and Southern California, she experiences the contrasts of the
two cultures and enviornment. "Living in California, being away
from the place I love actually makes me see things clearly, it's
a perspective that inspires appreatiation. Circumstances most
people struggle with in the north, like weather and darkness
have become almost magical to me. In the winter, during the
'blue hour' - when lingering twilight casts everything into
values of blue - it is like experiencing a monochromatic film in
which you are immersed. In my art I try to capture the essence of my experiences. It is not about how something looks, rather how it feels. To me nature evokes an emotional response, a sentimental feeling. I vividly remember my first experience witnessing a simple cherry blossom. It was a fireworks display, petals exploding into the air and sky. I believe my series of blossoms conveys the magic. I am proud to have my artwork on display in spaces that people work, play and relax. I hope my paintings bring a feeling of happiness and inspiration to them."
