Artist statement
-- Åpent atelier lør 21.sept kl 12-17 --
Torild Stray, a Norwegian artist known for her expressive and evocative paintings, often explores themes of identity, memory, and the human experience in her work.
Her pieces frequently blend abstraction with figuration, creating a dynamic interplay between form and emotion. Stray's art is characterized by its bold use of color, texture, and movement, reflecting her deep connection to both her Norwegian roots and her experiences living in various parts of the world, including the New York City.
She often seeks to evoke a sense of timelessness and universality in her work, using her paintings as a means to explore the subconscious and the intangible aspects of existence. Through her art, Stray invites viewers to engage with the layers of meaning embedded in her work, encouraging a personal and introspective response.
