Camilla Fransrud

Camilla Fransrud is an Norwegian contemporary painter.

Born in Oslo in 1974. She moved to Trondheim, the heart  of Norway at the age of twenty, and  has lived for 29 years. She has three adult children, and family means a lot to her.

Ever since childhood, she has had a deep and unique passion for photography, where 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 . She is strongly connected to the ocean, where she today also has her day job. Through her love for photographic art ,she also discovered her passion for painting .She started painting in 2017, and she paints on canvas with acrylic, mixing her own colors. To create depth in her paintings, she uses chalk, palette knife, various textures and mixed media.She is also self-taught in this art form. What she attempts to evoke in her art is that you can feel the painting in the 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 more breath, one moment of poetic stillness”, she says.

Working intuitively with colors, she derives inspiration from the Nordic light. She wants to give you a space to dwell in. A place to enjoy and simply be. To her it is important to paint with the heart, and her expression is both abstract and figurative. She derives to touch your heart via her paintings, so that you can feel and create your own dreams through the feelings she attempts to convey in her paintings .

You do not just capture a picture, you create one. Let us create a beautiful world together, she says and hopes that you will accompany her on that journey.
