Camilla Fransrud
Camilla 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 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 2019 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 artform and has had three separate exhibitions in Trondheim. What she attempts to evoke in her art is that the beholder 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.
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 simply be. To her, it is important 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 own dreams through the feelings she attempts to convey in paintings. She is inspired by the old saying that “you do not capture a picture; you create one”. As she herself says: “Let me give you one breath, one moment of poetic stillness, and I will create a beautiful world in the hope that you will join me on the journey”.
