 Solveig Larsen

"My artworks are about life, energy and colour. In my work I am inspired by the life force of a subject; its own unique spirit, or song that transcends time and space".

Bellingen Artist, Solveig Larsen works in most mediums and with a variety of subjects. Solveig's fascination for life studies has lead her to portraiture, landscape painting, floral themes, Spanish and comtemporary dance motifs and still life themes.

"I love painting for its scope for visual richness and intensity; and I love drawing because of its capacity for spontaneity and intimacy. In my art I hope to bring these features together".
