Kristin Holm Dybvig

Kristin Holm Dybvig live and work in Stavanger, a small town at the West coast of Norway. She is a trained art therapist, and worked for many years with children and young adults. In resent years she has worked as a visual artist, with the main focus on developing her pastel paintings.

Through stories of personal experiences, Kristin explore how landscapes affect our identity, connections and feeling of security. The pastel paintings are created in the meeting between memories and moods and show idylls. Abstraction helps to transport the motif from the place-specific to the universal. The main motive in her artwork is to look away from man-made changes in nature and take back views of untouched nature, dissolving time by doing so. Nature's thousand-year-old creation tells of long timelines, nature connects our fleeting presence to those who came before us. The ethereal qualities in Kristins artwork express dreamlike visions witch emphasise the timelessness of her colourful and poetic expressions on paper.
