Hi, I am SilviaAn artist classically trained in Florence, living dreams in Norway and abroad.

You will find landscapes done in the open on the spot and imaginative figure work created in the studio, carefully composed, yet playfully executed.
Working in an impressionistic realism my work is expressive yet soulful and gentle.
I do large scale figure compositions and landscapes.
My paintings are done in oil in a traditional manner painted on linen canvas. Some of my works incorporate metal leaf as decorative accents, or playful backgrounds.

„Modern Ophelia“
For the work "Modern Ophelia" I have taken the famous work "Ophelia" by John Everett Millais as my foundation. Made the landscape into a mess of clothing with the same colour scheme and replaced the ‚white Ophelia‘ with a girl from South East Asia.
I've always loved Millais' work. But it shows a tragic and ugly thing, a suicide of a girl gone mad, in a beautiful romantic way. And yet I am just drawn to her face and get involved with the landscape and am moved, but not shocked.
The fashion industry looks beautiful and fun on the outside, but the backside has long and ugly streams running through our own society, our own minds, and mostly through the countless lives that make our clothes day in and day out. And it doesn't just stop at those that sew the fabrics together. There are so many dark corners, starting with the cotton industries, where whole villages in India, just to name one effect, keep having babies born with disabilities and sicknesses and their fathers die way to young of cancers because they work with toxic pesticides in the cotton fields. And then there are the mountains of toxic clothing waste (most of the material we wear today is actually harmful for the environment) just in the landscape somewhere in the deserts in Chile or in many countries in Africa, where our 'generous' donations end up.

Oil on linen with silver leaf. 163x82 cm
I see Sulafjellet from my window and since 2009, when I first moved to Ålesund, I loved the wind shaped surface of these mountains. I often catch myself just following the wave like movements , tracing them so they are imprinted on my memory.
this is my first painting where I attempt to catch these waves and the way the clouds often dig into them.
It was the first snow, after the top of the mountains came out of the clouds again.
I added Silver leaf in the clouds and depending on the way the light falls on the painting, it will reflect beautifully.
It is an elongated piece and will fit very well over a couch, a bed or table along a wall.
It comes with a simple gallery frame, which can be easily changed, if that is desirable, depending on your interior.

Erkna
NOK 10,000.00

Oil on linen with silver leaf. 57x121 cm
Erkna - the island and lighthouse seen from Giske. This little island is on my bucket list to visit. I love it's wind and wave shaped form and the white lighthouse that often catches the sunlight and is sitting so firm there in the middle of the ocean.
It's a vertical art piece that will fit well on a narrower wall or accent wall. It could also work very well at the end of a hallway, if the lighting allows it.
It comes with a simple gallery frame, which can be easily changed, if that is desirable, depending on your interior.

Oil on linen with gold, silver and copper leaf. 60x50 cm
Ålesund is beautiful by night as well. This is the iconic view from the viewpoint on Aksla, looking down on the city.
I caught this scene one evening on a walk, the light was particularly brilliant, as the clouds seemed heavy and a glow from within.

Jønshornet hilser
NOK 19,000.00
AVAILABLE
Oil on linen with gold and copper leaf. 193x106 cm
This painting depicts the view from my morning walks on Aksla in Ålesund Sentrum. In late fall it was still possible to catch the sunrise and not start the day too late. You look across to Sulafjell and Langevåg and if you're lucky you can see the top of Jønshornet, one of my favourites and maybe the most iconic mountain top here in Sunnmøre.
You can even see the 'Hurtigbåt', the ferry, that goes across from Ålesund centre to Langevåg.
The details I chose to do in a very rough manner, so that the painting works best seen with distance, as it blurs beautifully together and doesn't take the eye away from the mountain tops.

Oil on linen with gold leaf. 142x55 cm
This is a painting of the island Godøya, right by Ålesund. I love the shape of it and I caught the idea off this image during an early fall storm with snowfall. It's a dramatic depiction of this beautiful island and definitely my favorite of this exhibition.
For the ones with Wanderlust and the Home Makers.
Art is meant for homes. It's personal, so is your space. For me, finding a home for my works is almost like match making. It has to be love - sometimes it's at first sight, other times it is a falling into over time. And it's wonderful when an artwork and a home find each other.
Here is what some of my clients said:

I'm so happy I finally have one of yours, I can't wait to hang it up!" - Tammy |
Just like me, my works like to travel and are in private collections in England, the US, Germany, Norway, Italy, Israel, Australia and maybe some other places I am not aware of.
I also have had the pleasure to exhibit in multiple countries, among them Norway, Germany, USA and Italy.

Do you have a space in your home that needs a unique artwork?
In 2020 I moved back to Ålesund that since 2009 has had the number one place on my "home away from home" list.
Ålesund is a beautiful Art Nouveau city that is bracing fjords, mountains and the open sea. The landscapes in this whole area are breathtaking and never cease to serve for inspiration for me. The picture above is a painting incorporating gold leaf of the island Godøya west of the city.
The west coast weather is constantly shifting, but with it it brings shifting scenery and I love trying to capture it's moods.

I am also a passionate plein air painter - which means painting outdoors. The weather doesn't always play along here, but that way I get a variety of days in the studio and outdoors as it comes. You can read more here.
